Zadoks Decimal Growth Stages
Feekes Large Growth Stages
Cereal Growth Stages
The Feekes and Zadoks scales define the growth stages of a relatively uniform cereal crop. Completion of these growth stages by the cereal crop will be influenced greatly by soil temperature, moisture, air temperature and day length. For example, stages 2 to 5 in the Feekes scale may take 5 or 6 weeks, whereas stages 6 to 10 may be completed in 2 to 3 weeks under prairie conditions.
To establish the growth stage of a cereal crop using either of these scales, it is necessary to collect a random sample of plants to determine the level of growth attained by the majority of the plants.
Under good growing conditions, examination of up to 10 random selected plants may be appropriate. Under conditions of uneven germination and low soil moisture, growth stage assessment may require larger samples.
Application of an agrochemical must be timed precisely to maximize the desired effect on the target crop. All agrochemical applications (fungicides, growth regulators, herbicides, or supplemental nutrients) must be based on physiological growth stage of the crop. Applications based on calendar days are less accurate and will be less successful.

How to Use This Book
This publication assists in the selection and application of pesticides. The pesticides are grouped into four main sections:
• herbicides
• insecticides
• seed treatments
• foliar fungicides
Each section is indexed separately and has helpful selector charts after the registration information.
Use the pesticide selector charts and the detailed pesticide descriptions to choose the most appropriate chemicals. To select a suitable pesticide, follow these steps:
• Identify the pest(s).
• Refer to the chart for weed or insect pests, and record the pesticide(s) available.
• Refer to the appropriate pesticide(s) in the text, and select the product best suited to your operation.
• Apply the pesticide strictly according to instructions given on the label attached to the product container.
Chemical Pest Control Summary
Know your problem(s).• Identify the pest(s).
• Estimate infestation level or probable economic loss to determine if treatment is required.
• Know the crop variety. Some products are restricted to, or excluded from, use on specific crop types or varieties.
• If necessary, note soil type or texture of the area to be treated.
If chemical control is necessary, choose a pesticide based on the following criteria:• Registered products for the given crop
(tank mixes may have separate recommendations).
• Pests controlled by the product.
• Crop and pest stage of growth or development.
• Recommended application time (e.g. spring, summer, fall; time of day).
• Cropping and/or harvest restrictions of product(s) considered.
• Use the least toxic, suitable product.
Read product label directions for:• Recommended rate(s) for the particular pest,
infestation level, crop and field conditions.
• Method of application.
• Any application restrictions during adverse or extreme weather conditions.
• Any other restrictions, cautions or special instructions.
Clean, prepare, maintain application equipment.• Lubricate and repair equipment to get the best
possible performance.
• Clean spray tank of residues to prevent crop damage or problems with equipment.
• Clean, calibrate and, if necessary, replace spray nozzles.
• Check pump and pressure system.
10back to Table of Contents
Safely prepare pesticides for application.• Use protective clothing and recommended safety
equipment; the exposure hazard is greatest during mixing.
• Follow the mixing instructions.
• Use the specified amount and quality of water.
• Use recommended rates (tank mix rates may be different from each pesticide used alone).
• If specified, add adjuvants.
• Record the following: rates used, mix order, pesticides and adjuvants used as well as water quality for future reference.
Apply pesticides using:• Recommended safety precautions and equipment.
• Proper application equipment.
• Recommended rates of pesticides, adjuvants and water.
• Proper time (e.g. growth stage, time of day, season).
• Recommended techniques (e.g. ground speed, pressure, incorporation).
• Record weather conditions at time of application, techniques used, growth stage of crop and pests for future reference.
Sprayer Operations
A summary of sprayer operations is presented in this publication.
Getting the sprayer ready:• Preliminary maintenance, adjustments and settings
must be made according to the operator’s manual.
• The entire sprayer system should be cleaned and rinsed.
• Ensure that all nozzles are the same size and spray angle by checking the code number on the nozzle tip.
• Partially fill sprayer tank with clean water.
• Check the pump for adequate output. If the desired spraying pressure can be achieved with the agitator and boom valves open, the pump output is okay.
• Check accuracy of main sprayer gauge by installing a new gauge on the boom end temporarily and compare the pressure readings. The readings should be identical.
• Inspect spray patterns and replace tips that have streaky patterns. Flat fan nozzles should be aligned, so the patterns do not interfere with each other.

Note: If spray charts are not available for your nozzles, the following formula may be used to establish the ground speed required to apply the desired litres per acre.
Formula: Example:Average nozzle output (L/min) x 240 = km/h 0.75 L/min x 240 = 180 = 9 km/h Litres per acre x nozzle spacing (m)* 40 L/acre x 0.5 m 20
* Standard nozzle spacing is 0.5 m.

Nozzle tip calibrationThe output of individual nozzles must be within 5 per cent of the average nozzle output to provide an even volume over the width of the spray swath. Nozzles with outputs either above or below this value must be replaced.
• With the spayer operating at the recommended spraying pressure (275 kPa), collect, measure and record the output from each nozzle on the boom for one minute. Note: if nozzle strainers are equipped with ball-check valves, increase pressure by 35 kPa.
• Calculate the average output.
• Replace nozzles with output 5 per cent greater than average. Clean and recheck nozzles with output 5 per cent less than average.
Ground speed determinationActual ground speed can be confirmed by noting the time it takes to travel a measured distance. The following ground speed chart is based on the time required to travel 800 metres.

Sprayer Calibration – Example L/acre
Step 1: Determine the number of acres to spray using your field records.Example: 30 acres
Step 2: Know the sprayer tank capacity, which is marked on sprayer tank.Example: 2,000 litres
Step 3: Determine spray volume needed per acre, which can be obtained from the pesticide label or this publication.Example: 40 litres per acre recommended
Step 4: Select nozzles for 40 litres per acre from the manufacturer’s chart or the sample nozzle chart in this publication.Example: Nozzle No. 11002 at 275 kPa and 9 km/h =
40 L/acre
Step 5: Check nozzle output. See nozzle tip calibration.Example: Nozzle flow between 0.71 to 0.79 litres per minute
per nozzle is okay
Step 6: Calculate total spray solution needed by multiplying number of acres x litres per acre.Example: 30 acres x 40 litres per acre = 1,200 litres
Step 7: Calculate the total amount of pesticide needed from the pesticide label or this publication (multiply litres of pesticide per acre x number of acres to spray).Example: 0.60 L/acre x 30 acres = 18 L of pesticide and
1,182 L of water in sprayer tank
Step 8: Set sprayer to travel at desired speed. See Step 4 (example) and nozzle chart.Example: Required speed = 9 km/h (36 seconds to travel

Calibrating Small Sprayers
The spray volume that a backpack or hand-held sprayer will apply per acre can be determined by field testing the sprayer on a portion of an acre. The size of the test area commonly used is 1/100 of an acre. It is important that the test area surface is similar to the surface to be sprayed, so the walking speed will remain the same.
Step 1: Establish a test run distance to spray 1/100 acre (40.5 m2) according to the swath width of the sprayer.
Swath width Test run length
0.5 metres 81.0 metres 1.0 metres 40.5 metres 1.5 metres 27.0 metres 2.0 metres 20.2 metres
Step 2: At a comfortable walking speed, spray the test area and measure the volume of water used (repeat 2 or 3 times to obtain an average). This is the amount applied to 1/100 acre.Example: 2 litres
Step 3: Multiply the figure arrived at in Step 2 by 100 to get the spray volume per acre.Example: 2 L x 100 = 200 L/acre
Step 4: Determine the amount of pesticide to add per tank load. Divide the volume applied per acre by tank capacity to determine the number of fills required to spray an acre.Example: 200 L/acre ÷ 20 L/tank = 10 fills
Divide the chemical rate per acre by the number of tank loads required to spray an acre to determine the amount of product to add per tank load.Example: 1 L/acre ÷ 10 fills = 0.1 L/tank
Preparation and Application of Pesticides
Tank Mixtures
Tank mixtures are two or more separate pesticides mixed in the sprayer tank, as opposed to a mixture formulated by the manufacturer. Tank mixing is often done to reduce the number of applications of pesticide. Mixing a grassy herbicide with a broadleaf herbicide is one of the most common mixtures. Another reason for mixing herbicides is to include more than one mode of action on the weeds to combat the development of resistance in the target pest. Lately, there have been a lot of pesticide products put together as co-packs. That is when the tank mix partners are placed in individual containers in the same box.
Adjuvants (surfactants, wetting agents, spreaders, etc.)
Adjuvants are added to a pesticide to enhance application and/or performance. The most common adjuvants used in pesticides are surfactants. If adjuvants are required, use only those products
named and recommended on the label. Failure to do so could result in the following:
• crop injury
• reduced pest control
• invalidation of pesticide warranty
Surfactants facilitate and enhance the emulsifying, dispersing, wetting, spreading, sticking, penetrating or other surface-modifying properties of liquids to bring about enhanced pesticidal action. Because these chemicals produce physical changes at the surface of liquids, surfactants are often referred to as surface-active agents.
Surfactants are generally classified into two major groups based on how they react in water: ionic or non-ionic. Ionic surfactants break down into two entities when mixed in water, – a positively charged ion (cation) and negatively charged ion (anion). An example is ammonium sulphate (2 NH4
+ + SO4–).
Note: Ammonium sulfate is not a true surfactant.
1313back to
Table of Contents
Non-ionic surfactants do not break down in water. Consequently, they are unaffected by hard water, can be used in strong acid solutions and are more soluble in cold water than in hot water. Some of the commonly recommended non-ionic surfactants for herbicide mixtures are Agral 90, LI 700, Ag-Surf, Companion, Citowett Plus, Enhance, Super Spreader, Tween 20.
Preparing a tank mix
To avoid physical incompatibilities, go through the following general steps or use the appropriate mixing instructions below:
• add half the required amount of water and mix with one pesticide
• agitate
• with agitator running, add the other pesticide. Add pesticides to the spray tank in the following order to reduce the possibility of formation of precipitates or gums that may clog nozzles and filters:
– soluble powders
– wettable powders and flowable liquids
– solutions (amines and salts)
– emulsifiable concentrates (esters)
– additives (surfactants)
Specific Mixing Instructions
“a” Single product mixing instructions
1. Fill clean tank to ½ full with clean water.
2. Turn on full agitation.
3. Add the proper amount of herbicide to the water in the spray tank with the agitator running. Maintain full agitation until completely dissolved and product is fully dispersed. Continuous agitation is required to keep the product in suspension.
4. After herbicide has been well mixed and is in suspension, add tank mix partners and then a recommended non-ionic surfactant, if required.
5. Add the remainder of the water.
On repeat tank loads, ensure that the amount of spray solution left in the tank from the previous load is less than 10% of the volume to be mixed.
“b”
1. Fill tank ½ full of water.
2. Start sprayer agitation.
3. Add Group 2 herbicide and agitate vigorously, if a granule, agitate until dissolved.
4. Add tank mix partner herbicide and continue to agitate.
5. Add adjuvant (if required) and continue to agitate.
6. Add antifoaming agent if required and continue agitation.
7. Complete filling of the tank with the balance of the water.
8. If tank mix partner is an E.C. (emulsifiable concentrate), do not over agitate, to avoid inducing an invert emulsion.
“c”
1. Clean spray tank and ½ fill with clean water. Start agitation or bypass system.
2. Add broadleaf herbicide to the tank first prior to adding grassy herbicide and agitate for 2 - 3 minutes.
3. Add correct amount of grassy herbicide.
4. Agitate for 2 - 3 minutes.
5. Add correct amount of adjuvant (if required).
6. Agitate for 1 - 2 minutes before adding remainder of water.
7. After any break in spraying operations, agitate thoroughly before spraying again.
8. Use the spray suspension as soon as it is prepared.
9. If an oil film starts to build up in the tank, drain tank and then clean with a detergent.
“d”
1. Ensure the spray tank is thoroughly clean.
2. Fill the tank ½ to ¾’s full with clean water and start agitation or bypass system.
3. Add grassy herbicide first. Vigorously agitate until dissolved.
4. Add broadleaf herbicide product second followed by any registered tank mix partner (if desired).
5. Add adjuvant/surfactant(if required) and complete filling the spray tank.
14back to Table of Contents
• Follow label directions for preparing the mix.
• Use only on crops or varieties registered for the particular tank mix.
• Apply at the recommended stage of growth or development of crop and pest(s).
Sprayer Clean-out
Modern pesticides can affect susceptible crops at very low concentrations. Proper sprayer cleaning is a critical component for the maintenance of the sprayer, reducing water contamination risks and eliminating crop injury from equipment contamination.
Herbicide residue adheres to tank walls and crevices and may be brought into solution by a subsequent herbicide or a particularly effective spray adjuvant acting as a solvent. Plastic or polyethylene tanks and hoses tend to require more extensive cleaning than stainless steel tanks. Post-emergent application sprayed directly on crop foliage will have a greater potential for crop injury than soil-applied herbicide. Crop injury from sprayer contamination can occur even several months after using the sprayer without proper cleanup, and injury can occur even following several subsequent applications.
Water is needed for dilution. The more often a sprayer is rinsed out, the greater the dilution of chemical left. You have a greater dilution by repeatedly rinsing the tank with small quantities of water rather than one rinse with a large volume of water. Water is adequate to flush and rinse the sprayer with some herbicides, but others need additional cleaning agents. The additional cleaning agents needed for cleaning will depend on the herbicides used. There are common household chemicals that can be used, but most producers use commercial sprayer cleaning products. Sprayer cleaning agents can have several functions including dilution, solubilization and/or de-activation.
Cleaning agents can increase the solubility of a herbicide. Ammonium increases the pH of the solution, which increases the solubility of sulfonylurea herbicides. The agent may not help break down the herbicide, but it does help strip the herbicide off the tank surfaces and get it into solution. Chlorine bleach enhances the decomposition of sulfonylurea and many other herbicides, but it is less effective than ammonia at dissolving and removing sulfonylurea from the tank.
“e”
1. Always start with a clean and empty sprayer tank.
2. Fill the tank 1/3 to 1/2 full of clean water.
3. With the agitator running, add the required amount of Express herbicide.
4. When Express herbicide has been thoroughly dissolved, add the required amount of the appropriate tank mix partner.
5. If the tank mix partner is an emulsifiable concentrate (EC), reduce agitation to avoid inducing an invert emulsion. Once dissolved, Express will remain in solution.
6. Add the rest of the water.
7. If required for tank mixture, add surfactant.
8. Refer to the label for specific tank mixing order and directions.
9. For repeat tank loads, reduce the material remaining in the tank to 10% of the original volume or less before proceeding with Step 1 because remaining chemicals may prevent Express from completely dissolving. If it is not possible, pre-slurry Express herbicide in a small amount (5 - 10 L) of water before adding to the tank.
10. If an anti-foaming agent is required, add last.
Avoid tank mix problemsCheck the labels for recommended crops, pests and rates for tank mixes as they may be restricted compared to the recommendations for each individual product. For example, either Poast or MCPA Amine alone can be used on several crops. A Poast + MCPA Amine tank mix can only be used on flax.
Crop injury, reduced pest control or physical incompatabilities may be the result of using tank mixes improperly. When herbicides for grassy weed control are mixed with herbicides for broadleaf weed control, a partial loss (sometimes total loss) of activity on grassy weed control is quite common. When reduced weed control or crop injury is likely to occur, the advantages of tank mixing are quickly lost.
• Tank mix properties are not necessarily the same as those of the individual pesticides applied separately.
• Use registered tank mixes only.
• Check the labels for recommended crops, pests, rates and adjuvants for tank mixing.

Chlorine bleach should never be added to ammonium or liquid fertilizer containing ammonium as, when mixed together, the two materials react to form toxic chlorine gas, causing eye, nose, throat and lung irritation.
Oil-based solvents such as fuel oil are most effective for removing oil-soluble herbicides, such as esters and emulsifiable concentrates. The oil solvent should be followed with a detergent rinse to remove the oil residue.
Detergents remove many materials including water and oil-soluble herbicides. Commercially available sprayer cleaning agents normally perform better than household detergents for cleaning sprayers.
The best source of information on cleaning agents and procedures is the herbicide label for the product used.
Activated charcoal de-activates organic herbicides.
A 3 per cent suspension of activated charcoal in water can be added and circulated throughout the sprayer system to tie up and de-activate any pesticide residue. The charcoal must be removed by rinsing to prevent the de-activation of a portion of the pesticide used in the sprayer.
Sprayers should be cleaned as soon as possible after use. Dried pesticide residues are much more difficult to remove than pesticide in solution. Reduce waste and excess application by only mixing the amount of pesticide required, and apply the entire amount on the field according to the label recommendations. Thoroughly rinse the sprayer tank with water, circulate the water through the sprayer system and, if possible, apply the rinsate to the treated field.
Do not clean sprayers near creeks, dugouts, sloughs, wells or any other water sources. Ensure that wash water does not come into contact with any desirable vegetation or its roots. Make sure discharged wash water (especially from insecticides) will not be accessible to children or animals. Do not contaminate any watercourse or water body with wash water. Note: Pesticides may have specific recommendations for sprayer clean-out. Refer to product labels on the container for recommendations.
There are three main methods for sprayer tank clean-out depending on the pesticide used.
Method ADrain contents of tank followed by 1 or 2 water rinses, 2 ammonia rinses (NOT containing chlorine) followed by 2 water rinses (one just prior to next sprayer event). Products that can use this cleanup method include 2,4-D, Accent, Ally, Atrazine, Avadex, dicamba, dichlorprop + 2,4-D, DyVel, Escort, Everest, Express, FlaxMax, Harmony Total, MCPA, Muster, Muster Gold, Nuance, Payload, Poast Ultra, Prism, Pursuit Ultra, Refine, Refine M, Rustler, Sundance, Tordon 22K.
Method BDrain contents of tank followed by 2 water rinses, 2 detergent rinses, then 2 more water rinses. Products you use this method for include Axial, Liquid Achieve SC*, Achieve Liquid Gold*, Basagran, Bromoxynil + MCPA, clethodim, Gramoxone*, Liberty, Puma120 Super, Reglone Dessicant*, Reward*, Sencor, trifluralin products, Venture L*.
* Manufacturers of these products recommend adding a non-ionic surfactant such as All Clear, Agral 90 or Agsurf at 0.6 L per 100 L water.
Method CDrain contents of tank followed by several repetitions of the water rinse with nozzles and screens removed and checked for debris. Products that can use this method are Amitrol 240, Assure II, Attain, Dual II Magnum, Eclipse, glyphosate products, Horizon, Horizon BTM, Lontrel, Odyssey, Prestige, Solo.
The above directions are general processes based on similarities of tank cleaning recommendations between products in each of the herbicide groups. Always follow the specific instructions on the product label. Follow these guidelines if label recommendations don’t cover tank cleanup.
Products that are water based can usually be cleaned from the spray tank using Method C. Products formulated as an EC (emulifiable concentrate), SC (soluble concentrate), or F (flowable) or use a petroleum-based adjuvant should at least use Method B. The detergent breaks down the oil that may be sticking to the sides of the tank. Most Group 2 herbicides have tank clean-out recommendations, but those that do not should use Method A for tank clean-out. If there is a tank mix of different pesticides, use the appropriate combination of methods to clean the tank.
16back to Table of Contents
Group 2 herbicides will occasionally get trapped on the tank wall by petroleum-based formulations or adjuvants, resulting in tank residues. Add detergent at 0.25 L/100 L to the ammonia rinse to prevent this situation from happening. The detergent breaks down the petroleum coating to allow the ammonia access to the Group 2 product.
What to Do if Results Are Unsatisfactory
• Ensure the choice of pesticide(s) was suitable. Are the treated crops and pests listed on the product label(s)?
• Compare your method of pesticide preparation to the product label(s) instructions.
• Check for equipment malfunction – e.g. plugged screens, nozzles worn or mixed type or size.
• Compare your application techniques with those given on label(s) – e.g. stage of growth or development of crop and pest(s), ground speed, pressure and incorporation.
• Consider weather conditions at application time – several labels include cautions against application during weather extremes – e.g. cold, heat, drought.
• Consider time since application. Some results are not apparent for several days. Look for early symptoms of the chemical taking effect.
• If results are unsatisfactory, seek technical help. Gather all relevant data, particularly evidence such as photos or specimens. Record wind, rainfall, soil moisture condition, crop variety, fertility, quantity of material used, acres treated and temperature at time of spraying.
• Document everything in writing. If crop damage is involved, submit a specimen for diagnosis. Disease or insect damage can resemble herbicide injury.
Pesticides and the Environment
Responding to a Pesticide Related Concern
The Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act prohibits any person from causing adverse effects when using pesticides. Farmers who witness or suspect a pesticide drift or runoff that could affect their family, pets or livestock or cause an adverse effect to their shelterbelt, crop or their land should take the following actions to protect themselves and assist in an investigation that may result at a later date:
• Immediately request family members to go into the home to protect themselves from exposure. Close all windows and air conditioning units in the home. If they have felt spray settle on them, they should immediately remove clothing and wash exposed skin. If any physical symptoms develop, then they should seek medical assistance or call the Poison Centre at 1-800-332-1414.
• Pets should be removed from the immediate spray area or area where drift has occurred.
• If livestock are at risk, the applicator should be asked to stop the application until the livestock
can be removed or conditions change so the wind is blowing away from the livestock.
• If drift has occurred in the farmyard, then outdoor furniture and play equipment should be washed before use and garden produce, berry and fruit trees should not be harvested or consumed but should be monitored for unusual growth or discoloration. If the produce shows signs of damage, it should be destroyed. If berries or fruit trees show signs of damage, the berries or fruit should not be eaten. If no signs of damage occur after one to two weeks (depending on the pesticide), then all produce, berries and fruit should be washed thoroughly.
• Record as much detail of the application equipment (colour and type of spray equipment; make, model, licence plate number, company information off nurse trucks; colour, distinguishing features, call numbers on the aircraft). If possible, take pictures.
• Write down everything regarding what was witnessed including date and time of occurrence, weather
1717back to
Table of Contents
conditions at the time, crop being sprayed, pesticide being applied (from pesticide containers at the site), extent of drift witnessed, description of person helping or doing the application, other witnesses.
• Attempt to contact the adjacent landowner and indicate your concerns.
• Contact the Alberta Environmental Response Centre at 1-800-222-6514 promptly for information and assistance in investigating the concern. Some pesticides degrade quickly, so prompt investigative action is required to proceed with enforcement action.
Pesticide Residues Found in Alberta Water Sources
The Alberta Environtmentally Sustainable Agriculture (AESA) Stream Survey was initiated in 1999 and continued until 2006. It tested the water quality in 23 watersheds throughout the agricultural areas of the province several times each year to get information on the presence and distribution of 68 possible pesticide residues in the water. Four of the watersheds received irrigation return flows and the rest were dryland.
Results show pesticide residues were commonly found in the water samples. Keep in mind that testing processes are able to detect very small amounts of chemical, far below any observable effect. Maximum pesticide concentrations were typically found in spring and during summer pesticide applications. Concentrations of detected pesticides occasionally exceeded existing water quality guidelines for either the protection of aquatic life or irrigation use.
This study highlights the importance of using due care and attention when applying pesticides as they do not necessarily remain where they are applied. Use integrated pest management strategies to improve the impact of applied pesticides and established benchmarks for the use of registered pesticides. The Farmer Pesticide Certificate program is an excellent example of training for the when, where and how to use pesticides.
For more information on the results or for a full version of the study, check Alberta Agriculture’s website at http://www1.agric.gov.ab.ca/$department/deptdocs.nsf/all/irr12914
Pesticide Applicator Certificate
Anyone applying pesticides (herbicides, insecticides, fungicides or rodenticides) on property not owned, rented or leased by them or in exchange for a fee must hold a Pesticide Applicator Certificate (issued by Lakeland College) and a Pesticide Service Registration (issued by Alberta Environment). If someone is offering to spray your property, ask to see a Pesticide Service Registration and a Pesticide Applicator Certificate (all applicators are issued wallet-sized identification cards).
For questions pertaining to pesticide applicator certification, please call Lakeland College at 1-866-853-8646. For questions pertaining to service registrations, contact the nearest regional office of Alberta Environment.
Please remember that a certificate is not a guarantee of performance. A certificate only certifies that the certificate holder has met a minimum standard of knowledge; it cannot assess an applicator’s integrity or the honesty of his business practices. If you are uncertain about the reliability of a particular applicator, ask for references.
Farmer Certification Requirements
Pesticide manufacturers and the federal Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA), in consultation with provincial agriculture and environment departments across Canada, have agreed that some pesticides have higher toxicity and/or greater potential to adversely affect health or the environment and require producers to obtain further knowledge to purchase and use them. This means, producers must take a course and pass an exam verifying that they have the knowledge to safely and effectively manage and apply these pesticides when applying them on their own property. Currently, pesticides containing the active ingredient aluminum phosphide require mandatory certification for producers to purchase and use. In addition, a fumigation management plan must be developed prior to the treatment, and an appropriate self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) must be available for use at the application site. Farmers must read the entire label and follow all the requirements and restrictions. Aluminum phosphide is used to treat stored grain pests and for rodent control in the field.
Producers are encouraged to consider obtaining Farmer Pesticide Certification. The course contains detailed grain fumigation and rodent management
18back to Table of Contents
information that can assist in preventing outbreaks and managing them more effectively when they occur. The Environmental Farm Plan further encourages producers to learn more information about safe and effective handling, use, application, storage, transportation and disposal of pesticides. The Farmer Pesticide Certificate course has been developed for producers and meets the Standard for Pesticide Education, Training and Certification in Canada. Not only does it provide producers with essential information, it also provides evidence to the public, who consume their product, that producers hold current knowledge required to safely and effectively apply pesticides.
Producers can obtain the Farmer Pesticide Certificate course material from the following sources:
• online at: http://www1.agric.gov.ab.ca/$department/deptdocs.nsf/all/prm12233
The Ag-Info Centre can also provide producers with information regarding in-class sessions that can be taken throughout Alberta and how and where producers can write the certification examination.
Note: The Farmer Pesticide Certificate does not qualify a producer to apply pesticides for other farmers or for a fee. Producers wanting to provide any pesticide application service off their own property must obtain a Pesticide Applicator Certificate. The training materials and examinations for this certificate are offered through Lakeland College at 1-866-853-8646.
Pesticide User Responsibility
Pesticide driftPesticide drift is a concern for ground as well as aerial application. Landowners are responsible for ensuring that any pesticide applications conducted on their property are conducted in a safe, responsible manner.
• The choice of chemical should be made with adjacent land uses in mind. If neighbours have livestock, bees, shelterbelts and gardens that may be affected by off-target drift, they should be notified prior to application. Perhaps a different chemical, formulation or application method will provide the same control and greater compatibility with neighbouring land uses.
• All sprayers (ground or air) should be calibrated prior to use, taking into consideration nozzle type, nozzle pressure and boom height. Calibration will
assure better performance as well as reducing the risk of chemical drift. The use of spray shrouds or wind protection on the sprayer are also useful tools to prevent spray drift. If you are hiring a custom applicator (ground or air), be sure to ask when the equipment was last calibrated, and be sure to check during the application to see whether any visible drift is occurring.
• Some adjuvants or stickers can help reduce spray drift.
• Buffer strips should be left when applying pesticides next to sensitive crops, watersheds and farmsteads. The size of these strips may be specified on the pesticide label, but if not, then the size will depend on the chemical used, the application method and the degree of risk from escaping drift. Pesticide applications conducted near rivers, creeks, lakes, irrigation canals or other open bodies of water require extra care and caution to ensure water users will not be affected by the proposed pesticide application and that the application is conducted in a manner that will not adversely affect aquatic or riparian habitats. Ideally, natural vegetation should be left along natural water bodies to ensure bank stability and to provide a natural buffer and filter for agricultural chemicals. A Special Use Approval must be obtained from Alberta Environment to perform pesticide applications within 30 metres of an open body of water when the adjacent land is unimproved rangeland, pasture or woodlot. Certified applicators applying pesticides within 30 metres of an open body of water do not require a Special Use Approval as long as the pesticide they are using is identified in the Environmental Code of Practice for pesticides and they are following the conditions of application specified in the code.
• Pesticides should not be sprayed when winds are excessive (generally winds over 16 km/hr are considered a drift hazard). Pesticides should only be sprayed when winds are blowing away from farmsteads, sensitive crops or water bodies. Conditions of “dead-calm” or temperature inversions or gusting should also be avoided to prevent vapour clouds. A suitable drift retardant additive to the spray tank may help reduce the potential drift hazard associated with the spraying of pesticides.
• Appropriate nozzles that produce a good droplet size range and minimize the production of fine droplets are an important drift management tool.
• Always assess the risk to adjacent landowners, and never push weather conditions to meet deadlines. If completing an application as planned may mean
1919back to
Table of Contents
damaging your neighbour’s property, postpone the application or modify it to prevent off-target damage. Landowners can be held liable for pesticide drift even if a custom applicator was hired to perform the application. When you hire a custom applicator, it is important that you hire a company that is registered, operates with certified applicators and has the knowledge, equipment, experience and desire to perform an application properly. Custom applicators must be aware of neighbouring residences and sensitive crops, (including gardens, livestock, bees, shelterbelts and gardens) that could present problems if drift should occur.
• All pesticide users, commercial pesticide applicators and farmers are legally responsible for safe pesticide use. Farmers who cause damage from their pesticide application activities or who counsel a commercial pesticide service to conduct either an illegal pesticide application or an application under questionable circumstances (e.g. extremely windy conditions) that results in damage, can be held liable for compensation and face potential prosecution. Farmers are cautioned not to counsel commercial applicators to apply pesticides not registered for the use intended or to direct applications to occur under known circumstances that could cause damage (such as under windy conditions). Results of such actions could cost you time and money by having to appear in court to answer to charges or through the subsequent remediation of damaged crops, shelterbelts, gardens, etc.
Notification of neighbours before applying pesticidesIt is strongly recommended that you notify your neighbours prior to spraying or having your crop sprayed, particularly if your fields border your neighbours farmstead or other sensitive areas (e.g. where beehives, gardens or shelterbelts may be located). Many potentially harmful situations can be avoided if you talk to your neighbour and advise what and when you anticipate spraying. Let them know whether you will be spraying by ground or by air (noise from low flying aircraft has been known to cause panic in livestock), and ask if your neighbour is planning any events (e.g. family reunions/picnics) where larger numbers of people may be gathered and could potentially be exposed to pesticides from your application. By notifying your neighbours, you are not seeking their consent, but rather letting them know you are concerned about them and their
property and want them to be able to take whatever action they believe is necessary before spraying to reduce the potential exposure to the pesticide.
Disposal of pesticide treated seedSeed treated with a fungicide, fungicide mixture or fungicide/insecticide combination can be very toxic and should be treated with respect. A blue or red colouration on seed indicates it is pesticide-treated. Extra care must be taken during the transport and disposal of pesticide treated seed to prevent domestic animals, birds and other wildlife from consuming the treated seed.
SpillageTo prevent treated seed spillage, move treated seed, in labelled, marked bags. Open container transport is not recommended. Bags should be checked for damage, and containers should be sealed or lined with plastic or other suitable material. Truckloads of seed should be tarped down securely to avoid any possible highway spillage. Treated seed blowing off along the road can kill many birds. All treated seed and seed treatment residue should be placed into the seeder at planting time – never dumped in a field. Never leave surplus treated seed unburied. Spills of treated seed, such as from trucks lurching, can be enough to kill deer or cattle. Any spilt seed should be buried. Incorporate granular pesticides immediately after application to prevent birds and other wildlife from consuming them.
DisposalNormally, treated seed is planted within one or two years of treatment. If there is treated seed, either bagged or loose that is either considered too old or too low in germination, then consider its disposal. Such treated seed should be mixed with new seed and planted at higher rates or seeded by itself. For example “old canola seed” can be mixed and sown with new canola seed or overseed alone along field margins or low areas. If disposal is necessary, check with your local landfill authority before disposing in a sanitary landfill. Ensure that the treated seed is covered immediately after dumping.
Pesticide disposalUnwanted or out-of-date pesticides should be disposed of very safely and responsibly. Pesticides are hazardous wastes and cannot be disposed of in sanitary landfills or by burning. If you will not be able to use pesticide supplies, check to see whether a neighbour may have some use for them. Make sure
20back to Table of Contents
the product is retained in the original container and has the label/booklet attached to it. Pesticides that have no further use must be disposed of through a qualified (approved) hazardous waste disposal firm. Names of companies that are licenced to handle hazardous waste can be obtained by contacting the Alberta Recycle Information Line toll-free at 1-800-463-6326 or in Edmonton at 780-427-6982.
Water protectionThe preservation of surface water is critical to our sustained quality of life and agricultural production. Surface water throughout Alberta has been monitored for a number of years. Monitoring data collected over a seven-year period indicated that 98 per cent of over 3,000 samples contained at least one pesticide active ingredient. The majority of the pesticides found in surface water are shown to have originated from either agricultural or urban areas. Farmers must take the necessary steps to prevent pesticides from continuing to enter surface water. Pesticides can be carried to a water body in three ways:
• spray drift from application equipment
• water runoff from farmland
• attached to soil and carried by wind
The greatest protection of surface water occurs by maintaining vegetation (trees, shrubs and grasses) surrounding small streams, rivers and lakes. This riparian vegetation acts as a filter to protect surface waters. Where the riparian vegetation no longer exists, grass buffers should be left next to water to help filter the runoff from agricultural land. Additional protective actions can also assist in protecting water:
• Pesticide must not be stored or mixed or application equipment cleaned within 30 metres of any water body and water sources including wells and dugouts.
• Pesticides subject to leaching should not be used on coarse-textured soils (i.e. sandy or gravelly) to prevent groundwater contamination.
• Never store pesticides in well houses.
• Haul water to your sprayer and fill it in the field rather than taking the sprayer near the water source.
• Do not leave sprayers unattended while filling.
• Empty pesticide containers should be never be left near a water body.
• Where possible, spray when wind is blowing away from the water body.
• Have an emergency pesticide spill kit available when mixing pesticides.
Pesticide container disposalTriple rinsing or pressure rinsing of pesticide containers is the recommended method of cleaning pesticide containers prior to disposal. Triple rinsing renders used pesticide containers (metal, plastic, glass) more than 99 per cent free (less than 1 ppm) of residues in most cases. There are a number of systems for pressure rinsing. The simpler style consists of a hollow spike connected to a water line, which injects water under pressure into the jug, which is then drained into the spray tank. A newer style consists of a small hopper mounted right on the sprayer with a sharp metal jug opener and a pressure rinse nozzle in the bottom of the hopper. The full jug is inserted on the jug opener, which drains the chemical into the tank. Wash water is injected under pressure to rinse the container. The chemical and rinse solution is then pumped into the spray tank by direct hose connections.
Unrinsed containers have the potential to contaminate soil, ground water and surface water, and can be toxic to fish and wildlife. Unrinsed containers impede the processing and recycling of empty pesticide containers, as containers have to be emptied, and workers are exposed to the residue. Residues can be transported to the atmosphere during storage, processing, shipping and energy recovery, or they can contaminate end products from plastic recycling processes. In addition, it is estimated that 6 to 7 per cent of product can be left in unrinsed containers. This amount of material can treat 1/2 to 1 acre of land and can result in several dollars of savings.
It is the responsibility of the farming community to ensure that their empty pesticide containers are directed to a designated collection site, whether it is a municipal site or back to the point of purchase (depending on the product and size of container). Please determine the correct disposal site at the time of purchase.
Containers disposed of at a container collection site are to be clean (triple rinsed or pressured rinsed) and well drained (dry). Paper bags and cardboard containers that contained pesticides should be thoroughly emptied and disposed of at a sanitary landfill. Do not burn paper bags or cardboard containers.
Under the Alberta Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act, non-refillable plastic or metal pesticide containers (restricted, agricultural and industrial products) must be disposed of at a pesticide container collection site.
2121back to
Table of Contents
Outer packaging (cardboard box) and paper booklets (affixed to plastic containers) can be disposed of in a regular landfill, or they can be recycled if non-contaminated. The presence of the paper attached to the containers that are to be recycled impairs the quality of the plastic, which will be used for other end products. Some pesticide container sites have bins or separate areas for collecting outer packaging and label materials.
Steps to follow for manual triple rinsing(without using a pressure rinse system):
• Empty contents of the container into the spray tank and drain in a vertical position for 30 seconds.
• Add water to container to about 1/5 full.
• Shake the container thoroughly and empty into the spray tank, and drain for 30 seconds.
• Repeat the procedure two more times; it should only take about 5 minutes in total.
• Triple rinsed containers should be punctured or broken to render them non-reusable. Punctured containers also identify themselves as being triple rinsed. Note: Do not puncture unrinsed containers – pesticide from unrinsed containers is concentrated material, and puncturing unrinsed containers will cause them to leak and create exposure of the concentrated material to the environment and to persons handling the containers.
• Dispose of all plastic and metal containers at a pesticide container collection site (see list).
Pesticide spill cleanupThe best way to minimize the effects of a pesticide spill is to have an emergency response plan prepared and in place that includes a copy of the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) and a procedure to handle all types of pesticide emergency. In addition, a spill cleanup kit should be prepared and be available near the pesticide storage site and at the mixing and loading site. A spill cleanup kit should include the following:
• personal protective equipment (see the Protective Clothing and Equipment section)
• absorbent material such as activated charcoal, vermiculite, dry coarse clay, kitty litter or commercial absorbent
• neutralizing material as indicated on the MSDS
• long-handled broom for dry formulations
• shovel for liquid formulations
• waste-receiving container with a lid
• blank labels to identify contents of waste container
In the event of a pesticide spill, follow the steps listed below:
• Isolate affected area.
• Put on protective clothing and equipment.
• Ventilate the area (if indoors). For outdoor spills, work from the upwind side of the spill.
• If possible, stop the containers from further leaking.
• Contain the spread of the spill using soil, sand bags, vermiculite, kitty litter, etc. to provide a barrier to the spread of the spill. Prevent pesticide entry into sewers or water supply.
• Report the spill immediately (if into or threatening a watercourse or if the pesticide is or will cause an adverse effect off your property).
• Clean up the spilled pesticide. Absorb spill on paper, sand, dirt or other inert material (e.g. kitty litter).
• Decontaminate the spill area by washing the site with detergent or other cleaning products such as ammonia. Check the product label MSDS (material safety data sheets) or contact the manufacturer for advice on cleanup procedures (most products have a 1-800 customer service number on the label) and disposal. If the spill is large, evacuate the area and notify safety personnel.
Emergencies or spills must be reported to the 24 hour Alberta Environmental Response Centre: 1-800-222-6514.
The CleanFarms initiative offers a free empty pesticide container recycling program. The program requires pesticide containers to be pressure rinsed or triple rinsed; paper booklets must be removed, and the clean, empty containers can be returned to a pesticide container site (see following pages).

Safety Precautions
Warning Symbols
Visual warning symbols on pesticide labels indicate the kind of harm that can result from pesticide misuse or mishandling. They alert the user to the degree of the hazard (by the shape of the border) and to the type of hazard (by the centre picture).
Flammable The “fire” symbol is a warning that the pesticide is flammable or easily ignited. Keep the pesticide away from heat, sparks or open flames. Do not smoke while mixing or applying the product.
Explosive The “exploding grenade” symbol indicates that the pesticide can explode, e.g. pesticide in pressurized cans. Explosive conditions may also be created by using Roundup or Rustler (glyphosate) in a galvanized steel spray tank.
Corrosive The “corroded hand” symbol indicates that the pesticide is corrosive to the skin and eyes. The chemical is either acid or alkali (caustic) and can burn the skin. Protect the skin and eyes when using these products.
Poisonous The “skull and crossbones” symbol warns that the chemical is poisonous if taken into the body. Keep the product out of reach of children. Use the appropriate safety measures when dealing with poisonous products.
Pesticide Toxicity, Hazard and Risk
The terms “toxicity,” “hazard” and “risk” do not all have the same meanings. Users of pesticides should understand the difference in meanings among these terms.
Pesticides vary in toxicity or the degree of being poisonous. How poisonous a pesticide is depends on its inherent chemical and physical properties.
The relative hazard of a pesticide depends on the toxicity of the pesticide, the dose received and the length of time exposed. No hazard exists when the pesticide container is sealed, but once the seal is broken and the pesticide is handled, exposure can occur, and a hazardous situation is created.
Risk of exposure is a function of how an individual handles the product. Although the hazard may be the same whenever a pesticide is being poured into the spray tank, the risk is different if one person wears a hard hat, goggles, respirator, nitrile gloves, waterproof apron and neoprene or rubber boots and the other person wears none of these. A knowledge of the toxicity of a product and the potential for personal exposure can be used to lower the risk of exposure. The user can control the risk by carefully managing the hazard. Even when highly toxic pesticides are used, if the degree of exposure is kept low enough, the risk can be kept at an acceptable level. The toxicity of the pesticide can’t be changed, but the risk can be managed.
LD50 values are used to rate the toxicity of the pesticides. The LD50 is an abbreviation for the dose (expressed in milligrams per kilogram of body weight of the test animal) that is lethal to 50 per cent of the
The following table relates the oral LD50 value (mg/kg) of a pesticide to its toxicity symbol.
LD50 greater than 2,500 mg/kg indicates very low toxicity
LD50 1,000 - 2,500 mg/kg indicates low toxicity
LD50 500 - 1,000 mg/kg indicates moderate toxicity
LD50 less than 500 mg/kg indicates high toxicity

group of test animals. For example, if a pesticide has an oral LD50 value of 10 mg/kg and the test animals each weigh 1 kg, 50 per cent of the animals would die of poisoning if each ate 10 mg of the pesticide.
The smaller the LD50 value, the more toxic the pesticide. The LD50 value usually refers to the active ingredient in the pesticide formulation. In this publication, the LD50 of the formulated product is also given when available.
Symptoms of Poisoning
Pesticide poisoning can be acute (due to a single, large dose, like an accident) or chronic (due to continued exposure over a long period). For example, chronic health problems may develop after long term exposure to pesticides low in toxicity. Accidental contact with a pesticide, however, will not necessarily lead to poisoning. Both types of poisoning can exhibit mild, moderate or severe symptoms as follows:
Mild poisoning symptoms: Mild symptoms may be vague and can be compared with a sickness such as influenza. Typical symptoms include nausea, headache, tightness of chest, loss of appetite and stomach cramps. These symptoms can be immediate or be delayed by 12 to 24 hours.
Moderate poisoning symptoms: These symptoms are usually more pronounced than mild symptoms. They include nausea, trembling, lack of muscle co-ordination, excessive saliva, blurring of vision, tightness of chest, difficulty in breathing, flushed or yellow skin, abdominal cramps, vomiting, diarrhea, tearing from eyes, profound weakness, rapid pulse and cough.
Severe poisoning symptoms: Severe symptoms are often more specific and require immediate hospital treatment. They include vomiting, diarrhea, excessive sweating, inability to breathe, convulsions, fever, intense thirst and coma. It is imperative to reduce exposure when using all pesticides whether they are highly toxic or have very low toxicities.
Reducing the Risk of Exposure to Pesticides
Pesticides may enter the body through the skin (dermally), the mouth (orally) or the nose (inhalation).
SkinAbsorption through the skin is the most common route of exposure. Different areas of the body absorb pesticides at different rates. For example, assuming the forearm is given an absorption rate of 1.0, the relative absorption rate of pesticides in the ear canal is 5.4, on the scalp 3.7, on the forehead 4.2 and the genital area 11.8 – almost 12 times greater than the forearm.
The genital area and the head are the areas where absorption is the greatest.

Reducing the risk of exposure through the skin is possible through the careful selection, use and care of protective clothing and safety equipment. Protective clothing and equipment can provide a barrier that reduces contact between the skin and pesticides. See the section on Protective Clothing and Equipment for recommended wear. To help reduce pesticide build-up, clothing should be washed daily using recommended procedures; see Cleaning of Clothes and Equipment section.
How skin is exposed to pesticides:
• Direct handling of pesticides – this includes any activity where the pesticide could come into direct contact with the skin, from spills and splashes during mixing and handling of the concentrated pesticide, during equipment adjustment and from spray drift during application. The greatest risk occurs when the chemical concentrate is being handled; extra protection should be used at that time. The use of a waterproof apron is highly recommended when handling all pesticide concentrates, regardless of toxicity.
• Transfer from contaminated clothing or equipment – clothing worn during pesticide use should be restricted to that use only, thereby eliminating the possibility of continued dermal exposure due to pesticide residues remaining in the clothing. Some types of concentrated pesticides are not removed after multiple washings. Clothing contaminated by accidental spills of concentrated pesticide should be discarded rather than laundered. Avoid entering the house wearing contaminated clothing and equipment. Pesticides may be transferred from boots to floors and carpets where children and pets may be exposed.
• Transfer to other clothing during washing – always store and wash pesticide-contaminated clothing separately from the rest of the family wash as pesticides can be transferred to other clothing during the laundering process.
Protective Clothing and Equipment
Even pesticides not absorbed by the skin may still cause skin problems such as redness, blisters or dry scaliness, which may lead to serious skin eczema and dermatitis. Good personal hygiene is important to help minimize pesticide absorption through the skin. Shower, shampoo your hair and put on clean clothing immediately after you finish using pesticides for the day or after an accidental spill. Cuts and scrapes should be cleaned and bandages changed after handling pesticide to avoid possible dermal absorption from contaminated bandages.
EyesEyes are very sensitive to pesticides and can be exposed to vapour or fumes, dust, spray drift, or accidental spills and splashes when containers of liquid concentrates are being opened or when the concentrated chemical is being poured into the sprayer tank. Do not wear contact lenses when mixing or applying pesticides.
EarsSprays and spills may contaminate the head and ear canal.
NosePesticides can enter the body through breathing in fumes, dusts or spray mists. Fumes and extremely fine particles of dust or spray can be completely absorbed by the lungs. To minimize exposure, respirators always should be worn when opening and mixing all concentrated pesticides. Read the pesticide label and follow the precautions outlined. A respirator may be required when applying pesticides.
MouthPesticides can enter the body through the mouth when users eat, lick their lips or smoke when hands are contaminated. Face and hands should be washed thoroughly prior to eating or smoking. Children may be poisoned if they drink pesticides stored in pop bottles. All pesticides must be stored in their original containers and should be placed in a locked area out of reach of children.

CoverallsWear coveralls, closed at the neckline and wrists and over full-length pants and long-sleeved shirts, also worn closed at the neckline and wrists.
Minimum protection• Cloth – if cotton or cotton/polyester coveralls are
worn, they should be washed after daily use. Some pesticides are difficult to remove from cloth.
• Disposable, nonwoven – a number of limited use, disposable, nonwoven, hooded coveralls are now on the market; instead of laundering, they are disposed of at an approved landfill and thus, the problem of decontamination is avoided. Not all disposables are suitable for pesticide use, especially for liquid pesticides. Check with your supplier.
Common disposable brands are Kimberly-Clark KleenGuard LP (Liquid Protection) and DuPont Tyvek. Both disposables provide an extra layer of protection. Check for comfort and size before purchase. Disposable coveralls are more fragile than standard ones and are only expected to last a limited number of wearings.
Extra protection• DuPont’s Tyvek QC (polyethylene coated Tyvek)
and Tyvek/Saranex (saran coated Tyvek) provide greater durability and are more repellent to larger pesticide spills. However, they are more expensive and must be specially ordered. These coveralls are uncomfortable when worn for long periods in hot weather because of heat build-up and lack of breathability.
• Impermeable rainwear – two styles are available: coveralls or two-piece suits. They are similar in price to the more expensive disposable coveralls. Generally, they are a P.V.C. (polyvinyl chloride) coating on nylon. Although excellent in liquid repellency, they too can be uncomfortable because they do not breathe and cannot be worn for long periods in hot weather. After use, they should be hosed down and washed with soap and water.

Remember, When Using Disposable Coveralls . . .
• Before purchasing any disposable coveralls, make sure they are recommended by the manufacturer for pesticide use. Avoid wearing all-purpose disposables.
• When removing disposable coveralls, take care not to contaminate the interior if the coveralls are to be worn more than once. Between wearings, hang in a well ventilated area, away from other clothing.
• Do not launder disposables, but do launder all clothing worn under disposables, just as you would other clothing worn during pesticide use.
• Replace with a new coverall when severe pilling (balls of fiber on the surface), rips or holes occur. To discard, place in a plastic garbage bag and take to an approved landfill site; do not burn.
GlovesUnlined gloves are required when handling, mixing or pouring concentrated pesticides, during field application and when equipment needs adjusting. Never use bare hands to do these jobs. Studies reveal that the greatest exposure is often through the hands. A variety of glove materials may be found on the market. Unlined nitrile and neoprene gloves are suitable for most pesticides. All gloves should be washed soon after the concentrated chemical has been mixed as pesticide may penetrate into the material if it is not cleaned off. Care should be exercised to avoid contaminating the interior of gloves when they are taken off and put on. If possible, wash the outside of the gloved hands prior to glove removal, to avoid contaminating the interior. At the end of the day, both the inside and outside of the glove should be washed.
Prior to use, inspect gloves and replace immediately if cracks, swelling, discolouration, holes or rips develop. Cuff glove and wear sleeves over top of gloves to help prevent spills and splashes of pesticides from running down inside the gloves.
Do not continue to wear contaminated gloves and avoid wearing leather, cloth or natural rubber gloves as they soak up the chemical and become a source of continuous contamination.
BootsNeoprene overboots or long rubber boots are the recommended footwear as they are less likely to absorb pesticides and are more easily cleaned. Be sure to wear the pant leg over the boot to avoid pesticides running down into the boot. In case of such an accident, wash the boots out immediately; otherwise, wash the outside of the boots daily.
Minimum protectionPrevent powders, dusts or spray mists from being deposited on the hair or scalp by wearing a hard hat. The hard hat should be washed daily. Avoid the use of a hard hat with a leather inner band.
Extra protectionProtect hair, scalp, ears and neck from dust, sprays and spill when you are likely to contaminate the head area. Wear a wide brimmed hat that covers the neck or hooded coveralls, with the hood under the hard hat. Only wear ear plugs if required for hearing protection. Use disposable ear plugs made of self-molding foam, and dispose of them after use.
Goggles or face shieldsProtect the eyes and face against pesticide vapours, dust and splashes when handling concentrated pesticides. Goggles and face shields must have resistance to chemicals and have ventilation to prevent fogging. Clean after each day of use and store away from direct sunlight.
Avoid Wearing
(These materials absorb chemicals and prolong exposure to the wearer; most are not easily cleaned).
• fabric baseball caps
• cloth or leather gloves, shoes or boots
• natural rubber or plastic gloves (not resistant to pesticides)
• leather belts, watch bands and cell phone holders
• contact lenses

RespiratorsPurchase a respirator recommended for the pesti-cides used and make sure it fits properly. A good airtight fit is required over the nose and mouth; beards and moustaches can prevent a close fit.
Respirators have two cartridges attached onto a facepiece. Each cartridge contains a pre-filter that removes dust particles and a filter of activated charcoal that absorbs the chemical. The cartridges should be unscrewed and replaced as soon as any odor of the pesticides is detected in the facepiece. Clean respirators after each day’s use; unscrew the cartridges and wash the facepiece with soap and water. Rinse the facepiece in clean water, dry with a clean cloth and screw on the cartridges. The clean respirator should be stored away from direct sunlight in a sealed plastic bag to prevent cartridges from absorbing airborne contaminants. Disposable respirators are also available. Replace as soon as any pesticide odor is detected. Wash after daily use – do not get the charcoal filter wet. Store in a sealed plastic bag. Note: Gauze and dust masks are not respirators and are not recommended for pesticide use!
Gas masksThese are used when an applicator is likely to be exposed to very high levels of pesticides (fumigants). The face piece covers the eyes, nose and mouth. It is connected by a flexible hose to a charcoal canister worn on the belt. The lifespan of this canister is longer than that of the respirator cartridges. Manufacturer’s directions are to be followed for cleaning and storing gas masks and canisters.
Minimize Exposure
• wear recommended protective clothing and safety equipment
• limit cothing worn for pesticide use to that use only
• wash clothing and equipment daily after use
• replace clothing and equipment that is no longer serviceable
Cleaning of Clothes and Equipment
Skin can absorb chemicals from inadequately cleaned clothing and equipment. Safe removal of pesticide demands special care in handling and washing contaminated clothes.
Handling pesticide soiled clothing• handle soiled clothing with unlined, nitrile gloves
• remove pesticide granules from cuffs and pockets outdoors
• discard any garment saturated with pesticide concentrate
• temporarily store clothing in disposable plastic bags before washing
• take disposables to approved landfill
Washing pesticide soiled clothing• wash daily
• wash separately from regular laundry
• pre-treat with a stain removal product if an emulsifiable formulation used, or
• pre-rinse on pre-soak cycle of washer
• avoid overcrowding washer
• use hot water setting
• use full water level and normal cycle
• use extra heavy duty detergent as recommended for heavily soiled loads
• repeat wash procedure
• clean washer after use (run empty washer through full cycle with hot water and detergent)

Specific Cleaning Procedures for Pesticides
The standard washing procedure mentioned above reduces pesticides from contaminated clothing, but new research is gradually identifying more specific washing procedures to further reduce the residues on contaminated clothing or equipment. Note that each product requires unique washing procedures, and more testing is required for those that still have high residues remaining. Refer to the guide below:
Recommendations1. 18 per cent residue is an unacceptable level.
For better protection, choose a disposable coverall and discard after use.
2. Soak contaminated clothing in undiluted limonene for required time. (Examples of this product are Odor Crush or Citra-Solv.).
3. Pre-treat contaminated clothing before washing, let soak.
4. Fill 70 L washing machine with warm water (50°C); add 280 mL of chlorine bleach. Soak for required time. (Note: loss of strength and colour results from bleach soak, more so for cotton than for cotton/polyester blends) Note: Acceptable levels of residue remaining – less than 3 per cent.

Other Precautions and Safety Tips
Fresh water supplyAlways carry a supply of fresh water to clean up accidental spills and a clean pair of gloves for equipment adjustments.
Remote control devicesDevices (e.g. solenoid valves) can be installed to remotely control the sprayer, preferably from within the tractor cab, to reduce exposure to pesticides.
Tractor cab cleanupAfter spraying pesticides, the inside of the tractor (seat, steering wheel, etc.) can be decontaminated by wiping with warm soapy water and a sponge.
Tractor cab filtersCharcoal filters are available for fitting onto the tractor air intake system, to filter out pesticides from the air entering the tractor cab. The use of these filters is highly recommended to reduce pesticide exposure during spraying operations. Check with tractor manufacturers to determine which charcoal filter is recommended for your tractor.
Grazing and Haying Restrictions
Traditionally, pesticides have been registered for use on crops grown to maturity. Grazing or cutting of the immature crop for hay was not considered as the intended use, so residue information on the immature plant was not requested in the registration process. A grazing or haying interval is considered in the registration process only if the green matter is to be fed to livestock. Consequently, many pesticide labels have no statement as to whether or not it is safe to graze the crop(s) listed prior to maturity. The absence of this information may lead producers to assume that since there is no specific warning with respect to grazing, it is safe to do so.
Present pesticide labelling policy is meant to define only the acceptable uses of the product. It does not list or take into account the “do not’s.” Therefore, it cannot be assumed that if something is not stated on the label, it is accepted for use. A new accepted use can only be made through the submission of relevant data to support that use.
In light of the above, pesticide labels that are silent on grazing will carry the following statement: “Do not graze the treated crops or cut for hay; there are not sufficient data available to support such use.”
Honey bee safetyBees may be affected by pesticides, including those on and associated with treated seed. Spray early in the morning or late in the afternoon when bee activity is at a minimum. Warn beekeepers of your intentions, so they can confine the bees or move them until risk of poisoning bees is over. Imidacloprid is toxic to bees. Dust generated during the planting of treated seed may be harmful to bees and other pollinators.
To help minimize the dust generated during planting, refer to the complete guidance “Pollinator Protection and Responsible Use of Treated Seed – Best Management Practices” on the Health Canada webpage on pollinator protection at www.healthcanada.gc.ca/pollinators
When using a seed flow lubricant with this treated seed, only the Fluency Agent by the registrant is permitted. Carefully follow use directions for this seed flow lubricant.
Do not load or clean planting equipment near bee colonies, and avoid places where bees may be foraging, such as flowering crops or weeds. When turning on the planter, avoid engaging the system where emitted dust may contact honey bee colonies. Spilled or exposed seeds and dust must be incorporated into the soil or cleaned up from the soil surface.

Standard First Aid Measures
Before using a pesticide, look for the warning symbol on the label. This label indicates the toxicity of the pesticide. If you are severely exposed to a pesticide and you are alone, do not panic. The symptoms of the pesticide do not show up immediately. You will have some time to decontaminate yourself.
If in eyesWash eyes with water at once. Hold the eyelids open and wash eyes for at least 15 minutes with fresh water each time. Get help to take you to the emergency department of the nearest hospital and take the labelled container with you. Do not use any eye medication unless prescribed by a doctor.
If on skinGet any spilled pesticide off your body immediately. If the pesticide is on your clothes, remove them and rinse your skin with water. After rinsing, wash the area with soap and water. Obtain medical attention if area of contact is large or if irritation persists.
If swallowedIf swallowed: Have the person sip a glass of water if able to swallow. Do not induce vomiting unless told to do so by a poison control centre or doctor. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
If the product contains a petroleum distillate:
If swallowed: Call a poison control centre or doctor immediately for treatment advice. Do not induce vomiting unless told to do so by a poison control centre or doctor. Do not give any liquid to the person. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
If inhaled: Move person to fresh air. If person is not breathing, call 911 or an ambulance, then give artificial respiration, preferably by mouth-to-mouth, if possible.

Glossary of Terms in Pest Control
Active ingredient (a.i.): The concentration of chemical in a formulated product responsible for action.
Antagonism: Opposing action of different chemicals such that the sum of their total effect is less than the effect if each pesticide were used alone.
Antidote: A first aid treatment to offset the toxic effect of a pesticide.
Bioassay: Determination of concentration of a pesticide by comparing its effect on a test organism with that of a standard preparation.
Adjuvant: Any substance added to a pesticide formalation or spray tank to facilitate application.
Chlorotic: Loss or fading of green colour in foliage.
Contact pesticide: Causes localized injury to plant tissue, or causes an effect when the pesticide hits the pest or the pest contacts the treated surface.
Degradation: Breakdown of a pesticide by action of air, water, sunlight, microbes or other agents.
Desiccant: Chemical use to accelerate drying of plant tissues.
Efficacy: Effectiveness of chemical on the pest.
Established forage: A forage crop that has gone through three months of a growing season.
Foliar application: Made to the leaves of plants, as opposed to soil application.
Formulation: Form in which the manufacturer prepares a pesticide to facilitate its use: granular, solution, emulsifiable concentrate, dry flowable, liquid flowable, wettable powder.
Fumigant: Vapour active chemical used against pests.
Incompatibility: Where one pesticide is mixed with another causing unsatisfactory results.
Inhibit: Prevent or stop a process, e.g. inhibits photosynthesis.
LC50: Lethal concentration – amount of pesticide in air or water that can kill 50% of the organism.
LD50: Lethal dose – quantity of pesticide that will kill 50% of a test population.
Mode of action: The specific mechanism through which a pesticide affects a pest.
Necrosis: Localized death of plant tissue, usually characterized by browning and desiccation.
Non-cropland: Land not in crop production or not intended for crop production.
Pesticide group: A number of pesticides that have the same mode of action.

Chemical Weed Control in Alberta
Chemical weed control functions on the basis that certain chemicals are capable of killing some kinds of plants (weeds) without injury to other kinds (crops). As a group, these chemicals are called herbicides.
Herbicides are effective tools for the control of weeds, and herbicides demand respect. When properly used, herbicides can safely and effectively accomplish their objective; misused, they can cause severe economic loss. The misuse of herbicides is usually due to:
• ignorance of their characteristic activity and/or
• carelessness in their application
Misuse includes such factors as applying improper dosages; using the wrong herbicide; failure to properly calibrate application equipment; failure to wash application equipment thoroughly before switching herbicides; improper soil incorporation; timeliness of application, with respect to the growth stage of crop or weed.
This guide lists the major herbicides registered for field crop use in Alberta. Refer to product labels attached to the herbicide containers for final detailed information.
Nitrate poisoning of livestockNitrate accumulations may be caused by leaf damage from frost, hail or herbicide action. Symptoms of nitrate poisoning include reduced milk production and growth rate, abortions and in severe cases, death by suffocation. A veterinarian should be called immediately if livestock show unusual symptoms when they are fed forages that may contain nitrates.
After severe frost, hail or herbicide damage, the nutrient value of the crop will decrease rapidly. In terms of nutrition, it is important to harvest as soon as practical; however, in the case of herbicide treated crops, there may be a waiting period specified on the herbicide label. Especially in the case of high risk crops, such as oats or corn, a delay may be advisable to permit nitrate levels to decrease. If there is a possibility of high nitrates in feed, have the feed analyzed at a feed testing laboratory.
Weed control in forage cropsMake sure all forages, as well as any companion crops, present in the stand are listed for the intended use on the herbicide label. Follow the label directions on the herbicide container closely, especially for stage of crop and weed development, Water Volume, Grazing and feeding restrictions.

Water Used for Spray ApplicationThe quality of water used can affect the efficacy of some herbicides. Water quality includes the cleanliness (silt, organic matter and soil), the hardness or softness of the water and the water pH.
Some herbicides, including glyphosate containing herbicides, adsorb to silt and organic matter, become inactivated. This causes a decrease in herbicidal activity. Suspended soils and organic matter in water is usually a problem where surface water is being used.
Other herbicides, including 2,4-D amine and several Group 1 herbicides have reduced efficacy when applied in mineralized water. Minerals include both calcium and magnesium sulfates, which result in ‘hard’ water, and excessive sodium bicarbonate, which results in ‘soft’ water. Mineralized water is most commonly a problem when well-water is used. When efficacy decreases, it is most apparent on hard to control
weeds and is easily confused with late application, poor growing conditions or reduced herbicides rates.
The pH of water or water temperature can affect the ability of some herbicides to stay dissolved in the spray solution. To avoid these problems, the manufacturer will suggest a specific order to add surfactant or mixtures of products. For example, to mix the herbicide Horizon, the herbicide is added first, followed by the surfactant, Score, and all mixing is done under agitation. Other water conditioners out there include Choice Weather Master and N-Tank. Follow label recommendations for mixing. Products cannot work unless they are dissolved or miscible (capable of being mixed) in the water. Also, if products are not in solution they can form a sludge in the spray tank and block nozzles.
It is best to avoid using poor quality water if possible; however, the following remedies can limit the loss of herbicidal activity.
Herbicide and Water Quality
Herbicide Quality concern Remedy
2,4-D amine* Mineralized water Use a non-ionic surfactant like Agral 90
Achieve (tralkoxydim) Mineralized water Add ammonium sulfate (1% v/v)
Poast (sethoxydim) Mineralized water Add ammonium sulfate (1% v/v)
Roundup/Touchdown Mineralized water Add ammonium sulfate fertilizer 3 kg/100 L application solution
Roundup/Touchdown Silty or dirty water Filter water or use clean water
Select (clethodim) Mineralized water Add ammonium sulfate (1% v/v)
* Note: 2,4-D Ester formulation is not affected. Information primarily derived from F. A. Holm, J. L. Henry, D. W. Gruber and P. McMullan, 1995 Water quality effects on phenoxy and ACCase inhibiting herbicides. Proceedings of the Weed Research/Symposium, University of Alberta.
Pesticide Resistance
The ProblemAgricultural pests can develop resistance to fungicides, herbicides or insecticides. Resistance occurs when some pests survive a pesticide application; this part of the population is naturally more tolerant to the chemical. These individuals reproduce and create a population that is resistant to the pesticide. Producers should follow agronomic practices that both prevent or minimize the development of resistance and prevent the spread of existing resistant populations.
Since the first documented case of chickweed resistance in the mid 1980’s, the numbers of herbicide resistant weeds, fungicide resistant diseases and insecticide resistant bugs have increased and the area infested by them continues to grow. At present in Alberta, more than 20 weed biotypes are resistant to chemicals from six herbicide groups. Potato blights are known to have developed resistance to common fungicides. Some insect pests are resistant to the Bacillus thuringiensis, a common biopesticide. In addition, some resistant pests are resistant to more than one pesticide group (see table below). It is essential that producers be able to identify these resistant pests and take action to minimize or prevent the development of resistance on their farms.

How to identify herbicide resistanceInvestigate all areas of the sprayed field where weed control did not occur. Rule out other factors that might have affected herbicide performance including mis-application, spray misses, unfavorable weather conditions, herbicide application at an improper leaf stage and weed flushes after application. If resistance remains a likely possibility, check for the following:
• Are other weeds listed on the product label controlled satisfactorily?
• Is herbicide failure patchy with no reasonable explanation?
• Did the same herbicide or herbicide group fail in this area of the field in the previous year?
• Do weeds show herbicide injury symptoms such as root pruning by a Group 3 herbicide or yellow/purple coloration caused by Group 2 applications. Resistant weed biotypes will not show these typical injury symptoms.
• Do field histories indicate extensive use of the same herbicide (or herbicide group) year after year?
How to minimize the development of resistanceFollow the guidelines below to delay the appearance of resistance:
• Integrated weed management practices – use herbicides as part of an integrated control program that includes scouting, historical information related to herbicide use and crop rotation, and consider mechanical, cultural, biological and other control practices.• Herbicide and crop rotations – herbicides must be rotated. It is important not only to use a different herbicide, but to use one from a different herbicide group with a different mode of action.
• Field history – records are needed to make sensible decisions on herbicide rotation and to evaluate the probability of resistance developing. A pesticide application record sheet can be found at the back of this book.
• Tank mixture – a tank mix may delay the appearance of resistant weeds if the components of the tank mixture control the same weed by a different mode of action.
• Monitor results – Monitor treated weed populations for resistance development.
• Preventive measures – prevent the movement of resistant weed seeds to other fields by cleaning harvesting and tillage equipment as well as planting clean seed.

Group 2 + 4 (multiple resistance) Cleavers
Group 9 Kochia
• NOTE: There is now a confirmed case of gylphosate resistance(Group 9) in kochia in Southern Alberta. Other cases of glyphosate resistance have been reported in Ontario with giant ragweed and Canada fleabane.
• Surveys of prairie kochia fields have found that approximately 90 per cent have Group 2 herbicide resistance. Without testing assume kochia found in Alberta is resistant as well and needs to be controlled with herbicides from a different herbicide group.
Herbicide resistance screening on suspect weeds can be performed by the Saskatchewan Crop Protection Lab (306-787-8130) for a fee, ranging from $35 to $100 per sample. Or contact the chemical company or the Alberta Ag-Info Centre toll-free at 310-FARM (3276).

2,4‑D (cont’d)
How it WorksSystemic, non-selective herbicide. Readily absorbed through leaves or roots. Translocated primarily in phloem with the sugars but can also move with water in the xylem. Accumulation is primarily in the young, rapidly growing meristematic regions of roots or shoots. It inhibits pigments, including chlorophyll, leading to death.
Expected ResultsSusceptible plants become malformed before they die.
RestrictionsEffect of Rainfall: 2,4-D amine: A rain-free period of 4 hrs is needed after application. 2,4-D ester: A rain-free period of 2 hrs is needed after application. Grazing: Do not permit lactating dairy animals to graze fields within 7 days after application. Do not harvest or cut treated crops for forage until 30 days after application. Withdraw meat animals from treated fields at least 3 days before slaughter. Re-cropping: No restrictions the year after treatment. Restricted-entry Interval: Do not enter treated area within 12 hrs after application.
Environmental PrecautionsToxic to small mammals, birds, aquatic organisms and non-target terrestrial plants. Leaching: The use of this chemical may result in contamination of groundwater, particularly in areas where soils are permeable (e.g. sandy soil) and/or the depth to the water table is shallow. Runoff: Reduce risk of runoff by avoiding application on moderate or greater slopes and bare soil.
ToxicityModerate acute mammalian toxicity. Acute oral LD50 (rats) = technical 300 - 1,200 mg/kg. 2,4-D formulations are toxic to small mammals, birds, aquatic organisms and non-target terrestrial plants.
Storage2,4-D amine requires heated storage. 2,4-D ester may be frozen.

Registered Tank MixesFertilizers: For pre-plant incorporated and pre-emergence application, nitrogen solutions or complete liquid fertilizers may replace the water as a carrier. Do not apply after the corn has emerged as there is danger of liquid fertilizer causing crop injury.Many dry bulk granular fertilizers may be impregnated with Aatrex or Aatrex plus Dual II Magnum or Eradicane 8E as a pre-plant incorporated application to control weeds in corn.Oil-water emulsions (post-emergent treatment): Atrazine 480. Pre-plant-incorporated: Aatrex Liquid 480 (0. 85 - 1.25 L/acre + Dual II Magnum (0.5 - 0.7 L/acre).
Application TipsContinuous gentle agitation is needed. Avoid excessive agitation, especially with oil mixtures as a grease-like mass may form. Use oil mixes at once, and clean tank and system with a strong detergent solution. Use 50 mesh or larger strainers and use only metal filters. Bypass line should discharge to bottom of tank. Band treatments are desirable when cultivation is to alleviate hard soil conditions or to control annual weeds.
How it WorksA systemic herbicide absorbed through both roots and foliage, and it is translocated to the leaves where it inhibits photosynthesis.
Expected ResultsAffected plants are slow to emerge and are wilted, yellowish and eventually, turn brown and die. Poor weed control may be expected if improper incorporation is done, or when post-emergent application is made without oil concentrate or sprayed too late. Heavy rainfall on sandy soils may cause leaching and a decrease in weed control and/or crop injury.
RestrictionsRe-cropping: Plant only to corn in year of treatment. The use of atrazine on the prairies is not recommended when corn is grown in rotation with other crops except triazine-tolerant canola. Breakdown of atrazine in the soil is slow and may cause injury to sensitive crops (e.g. cereals, canola, sugar beets) one or more years after application. Crops most tolerant after corn and triazine-tolerant canola are sorghum, then flax, faba beans and peas. The risk of damage to succeeding crops from atrazine residues may be reduced by ploughing or deep tilling treated fields in the fall prior to seeding the next crop in the rotation. Spreading and incorporating manure may also help to reduce the atrazine levels. Uneven application, excessive sprayer overlap or applications in excess of recommended rates will not injure corn but may result in a longer carryover of atrazine residues. A prolonged period of dry weather will also lengthen the time that atrazine residues remain in the soil. Rainfall: Rainfall will activate the chemical, carrying it into the root zone where kill will begin. Grazing: Do not graze treated immature crops or cut for fodder.
Environmental PrecautionsLeave at least a 10 m buffer between treated area and sensitive habitats. Do not mix or load within 30 m of any wells and aquatic habitats such as lakes, ponds, dugouts or sinkholes. Heavy rainfall on sandy soils may cause runoff and leaching. The use of Atrazine may result in contamination of groundwater, particularly on areas where soils are permeable (e.g., sand, loamy sand and sandy loam soils) and/or the depth to the water table is shallow.
ToxicityVery low acute mammalian toxicity. Acute oral LD50 (rats) Aatrex = > 5,000 mg/kg. May cause eye irritation. Very low toxicity to fish and birds.
StorageHeated storage required. If stored in unheated areas, the product should be warmed and agitated thoroughly prior to using.

Application InformationHow to Apply: Ground applications only. Do not apply by air. Water Volume: 40 L per acre.
Application TipsWarm, moist conditions following application promote the activity of Accent, while cool and/or dry conditions may reduce or delay activity. Poor weed control or crop injury may result from applications made to plants under stress from abnormally hot or cold weather, environmental conditions such as drought, water-saturated soils, hail damage or frost, disease, insect or nematode injury and prior herbicide, or carryover from a previous year’s herbicide application. Delay application until stress passes and both weeds and corn resume growth. If corn has been injured by frost, wait 48-72 hours before applying Accent. Severe stress conditions immediately following application may also result in crop injury or poor weed control. Do not apply a foliar organophosphorus insecticide within 7 days before or after applying Accent.
How it WorksAccent is a systemic herbicide that is absorbed by the foliage and translocated to the growing points of the plant. Growth of susceptible plants stops shortly after application. Accent rapidly stops the growth of susceptible species; typical symptoms usually appear within 5 - 7 days, but may not be noticeable for 2 - 3 weeks after application, depending on the prevailing growing conditions.

Expected ResultsTypical injury symptoms include yellowing, purpling and reddening of the newest leaves and usually appear within 5 - 7 days, but may not be noticeable for 2 - 3 weeks after application, depending upon the prevailing growing conditions. Eventually the entire plant discolours and dies.
RestrictionsRainfall: A rain-free period of 2 - 4 hrs is needed after application. Grazing: Do not graze treated crops or cut for hay. Pre-harvest Intervals: Do not harvest field corn until 30 days and sweet corn for 40 days after application. Re-cropping Restrictions: Winter wheat may be seeded 4 months after application. Spring cereals, canola, field pea, flax, corn, potato, dry bean*, sunflower, alfalfa may be seeded 10 months after application. * Since not all dry bean varieties have been tested for tolerance to Accent, first planting of each variety to previously treated field should be limited to a small area to confirm tolerance prior to general field scale.

Do not tank mix Liquid Achieve SC/Bison 400L/Marengo/Nufarm Tralkoxydim with broadleaf herbicides when applying to cereal crops underseeded to forage legumes as the forages may be injured or killed. With reduced water volumes, tank mixes with Buctril M, Thumper or Pardner (and associated herbicides) may result in some initial injury in the form of “tip burn.” This injury, however, will not have any adverse effect on crop maturity or yield.Tank mixes with Attain or Prestige may cause temporary crop injury if applied before the 4-leaf stage. Tank mixes with 2,4-D ester/dichlorprop and Buctril M plus MCPA may cause some injury in barley.
Application InformationHow to Apply: Ground or by aerial applications. Water Volume: Ground: 20 - 40 L/acre. Air: 12 - 18 L/acre.
Application TipsWeed Control: Optimum weed control is obtained by applying herbicides when targeted weeds are actively growing. Applying herbicides under stressful conditions (drought, heat, frost, poor soil fertility, flooding or prolonged cool temperature) may delay or reduce weed control. Crop Safety: Applications of Achieve SC/Bison 400L/Marengo/Nufarm Tralkoxydim to non-tillered crops exposed to 4°C temperatures before or after spraying should be avoided to prevent the possibility of crop injury. Tillered cereal crops may incur injury if Achieve SC et al are sprayed within 48 hours of freezing temperatures. Sequential applications: Always apply Liquid Achieve SC/Bison 400L/Marengo/Nufarm Tralkoxydim first and allow 5 - 7 days before applying any other non-registered tank mix herbicide. This is especially critical for Group 2 herbicides.
How it WorksTralkoxydim is a systemic herbicide that is absorbed through the leaves and translocated to the growing points within the plant where it inhibits an enzyme involved in lipid biosynthesis. Thorough coverage of the foliage is important for consistent grass control.
Expected ResultsGrass growth stops in 48 hours. Young shoots turn brown in 7 - 8 days. Complete death of plant will take 2 - 3 weeks.
RestrictionsRainfall: No effect 1 hour after application. Grazing: Immature cereal crops may be grazed, harvested or cut for hay 16 days after treatment. Mature straw may be fed to livestock. Do not feed or graze underseeded forage crops in the year of treatment. Pre-harvest Intervals: Immature cereal crops may be grazed or cut for hay 16 days after treatment. Grain may be harvested 60 days after treatment. Mature straw may be fed to livestock. Do not feed or graze underseeded forage crops in the year of treatment; sufficient data are not available to support this use. Re-cropping Restrictions: Do not replant treated areas to tame oats or corn for at least 4 weeks after application. Other Crops: none.
Environmental PrecautionsDo not apply to any body of water. Do not apply within 15 m by ground and (50 m by air) of non-crop areas. This includes fish-bearing waters, wetlands (potholes, sloughs etc.) and wildlife habitat (hedgerows, rights of way, etc.).
ToxicityVery low acute mammalian toxicity. Acute oral LD50 (rats) = > 5,000 mg/kg.
StorageStore in a cool, dry place. Keep packages dry at all times. Product is not affected by freezing.

Table of Contents
Application InformationWater Volume: Use a minimum of 40 L per acre. Higher spray volumes are required for dense weed stands. Weed control improves with the amount of coverage. Ground application only.
Application TipsDue to rapid absorption by the leaves, translocation is very limited. It is essential to get good plant coverage. Extremes in environmental conditions such as temperature, moisture, soil conditions and cultural practices may affect activity. Under warm moist conditions, herbicide symptoms may be accelerated. While under very dry conditions, the expression of herbicide symptoms may be reduced as weeds hardened off by drought are less susceptible. Aim EC can be applied only one time per growing season.
How it WorksRapidly absorbed by foliage. Inhibits the PPO enzyme involved in chlorophyll and heme synthesis. This action results in leaky cell membranes and rapid browning and death.
Expected ResultsInitial symptoms are observed within hours and death occurs within a few days.
RestrictionsRainfall: Avoid application when heavy rain is forecast. Heavy rainfall shortly after application may reduce weed control. Pre-harvest Intervals: Wait 3 days before harvest except for potatoes which require 7 days. Grazing: DO NOT graze the treated crop or cut for feed. Re-cropping: There are no rotational restrictions 12 months after application.
Environmental PrecautionsRecommended buffer zone of 5 metres from any sensitive habitat without the use of any drift control aids.
ToxicityAcute oral LD50 (rats) > 5,143 mg/kg.
StorageStore in a cool, dry place and avoid excess heat.

FMC Corporation supports the following mixes that are not on the Ally label. Apply mixes according to the most restrictive use limitations for either product. Herbicides: Puma Advance and clodinafop.
Mixing InstructionsRefer to mixing instructions “b” on page 13.
Application InformationHow to Apply: Ground applications only. Do not apply by air. Water Volume: Cereal and forage grasses: 40 L/acre.
Application TipsEffectiveness may be reduced if spray mixture remained in tank for more than 48 hrs. Warm, moist growing conditions promote active weed growth and enhance the activity of Ally/Accurate, allowing maximum foliar uptake and contact activity. If cold, dry conditions prevail, delay treatment until active weed growth resumes. Weeds hardened off by cold weather or drought stress may not be adequately controlled or suppressed and re-growth may occur.
How it WorksAlly/Accurate is absorbed by the foliage and roots, readily translocated throughout the plant and inhibits the cell division.
Expected ResultsAlly/Accurate rapidly inhibits the growth of susceptible weeds; however, typical symptoms (discolouration) of dying weeds may not be noticeable for 1 to 3 weeks after application depending upon growing conditions and weed susceptibility. Degree of control and duration of effect depend on weed sensitivity, weed size, growing conditions, soil pH and spray coverage.
RestrictionsRainfall: Heavy rainfall immediately before or after application may cause temporary lightening of crop. Rainfall within 2 - 4 hours of application may lessen degree of weed control. Grazing: Wheat, barley or forage crops may be grazed by or fed to livestock any time after treatment. Re-cropping Restrictions: Do not use on soils with pH greater than 7.9. Do not apply to irrigated land where tail water will be used to irrigate other cropland.

Environmental PrecautionsHighly toxic to non-target plants. Leave a 15-metre zone between the last spray swath and the edge of any of these habitats. Do not use on highly variable soils that have large gravely or sandy areas, eroded knolls, or calcium deposits. Do not contaminate irrigation water. Do not apply within 15 metres of a body of water. Runoff: Do not apply to frozen ground where surface runoff may occur.

Mixing instructionsUse mixing instructions “b” on page 13. Add anti-foaming agent last, if needed.
Application InformationHow to Apply: Ground applications only. Do not apply by air. Water Volume: 20 - 40 L/acre.
Application TipsInitial crop injury may be observed after application but this is outgrown and should not affect yield. Severe crop injury will occur as a result of spray overlap. Avoid sprayer overlap. Do not spray Altitude FX2 if temperatures of +5ºC or lower are forecasted within 3 days of application. Temperatures near freezing (below 5ºC) will prevent optimum herbicide performance, as weeds are not actively growing. Do not apply more than once per year. For best results, treat CLEARFIELD wheat during warm weather when weeds are actively growing and soil moisture is adequate for rapid growth.
How it WorksAbsorbed through the foliage and roots. Disrupts plant metabolism causing growth to stop within 24 hours. Visible symptoms appear within 7 - 10 days and, depending on environmental conditions, weed death occurs within 14 - 21 days after application.
RestrictionsRainfall: Rainfall within 3 hours of application may reduce activity. Grazing: Do not graze or silage the treated crop within 14 days of application or cut for hay within 42 days of application. Pre-harvest Intervals: Wheat grain and straw can be harvested 79 days after treatment. Re-cropping: The following crops may be grown safely the year following an application: field peas, field corn, canary seed, CLEARFIELD canola, non-CLEARFIELD canola, lentils, spring wheat, durum wheat, spring barley, sunflower, tame oats, flax, chickpea. The following crop may be grown safely two years following an application: mustard (condiment type only). Winter wheat can be grown 3 months after treatment. There are insufficient data for other following crops. Conduct a field bioassay (a test strip grown to maturity) the year before growing any crop other than those listed above.

Pasture and non-cropland (roadsides, fencerows, ditch banks):
Weeds Rate Application directions
Canada thistle, perennial sow-thistle
5.0 - 11.3 L/acre Apply when most thistles are in the early bud to bloom stage. Do not cultivate for 3 weeks. Do not till infested areas during the fall or spring before treatments
cattails 15 - 18.5 L/acre Apply after catkins are fully formed and up to frost. Do not disturb sprayed plant. Do not apply where water will be used for irrigating, drinking or other domestic uses. Do not apply where water is not wholly confined to users property.
dandelions 1.7 - 5.0 L/acre Treat when dandelions are young and actively growing. Tillage can occur 3 weeks after treatment but is not necessary.
field horsetail 5 - 6.6 L/acre Spray when horsetail is growing vigorously. Usually when 10-15 cm in height.
hoary cress 7.5 - 11.0 L/acre Spray during advanced rosette and bud stages. Treated area should not be mowed. If necessary re-treat with one half the original rate when re-sprouts are 10 to 15 cm tall.
leafy spurge 15 - 18.5 L/acre Spray between the advanced flowering and early seed development stage. Treated areas should not be mowed but may be plowed after top growth is bleached. Spot treat regrowth the following year.
milkweed 7.5 - 11.0 L/acre Treat in early summer when a majority of shoots have emerged. Spot treat any regrowth the following year.
poison ivy, poison oaks
3.7 L/acre Apply in 200 to 400 litres of water per acre as an overall spray or as a spot treatment. Apply anytime after foliage is fully developed in spring until plant begins to turn colour in the fall. Spray thoroughly, wet leaves, stems and suckers to ground line.
quackgrass 5.0 - 11.3 L/acre Apply when quackgrass is 10 - 15 cm tall. For best results, cultivate 3 weeks after treatment.
toadflax 7.5 - 11.0 L/acre Treat during advanced rosette to prebud stage. Till 3 weeks after treatment, when top growth is bleached. Spot treat any regrowth the following year.
Application InformationHow to Apply: Ground applications only. Do not apply by air. Water Volume: Non-crop areas: 40 - 120 L/acre, Crop Areas: 20 - 80 L/acre, Shelterbelts: 40 - 120 L/acre.
Application tipsAvoid using rates greater than 8 L/acre during preplant application on light soils with low organic matter. Spray to point of runoff, complete coverage of weeds essential. For good control, complete coverage of weeds is essential. Under or around desirable plants or trees, avoid contact with foliage, green stems or fruit as severe injury or destruction may result. Use a hooded sprayer if necessary. Do not disturb or mow treated plants for 3 weeks after treatment. If no tillage is possible, then spot treat weed regrowth or respray at 1/2 original rate. Do not contaminate any body of water. Do not apply where water will be used for irrigating, drinking or other domestic use. Do not spray near sparks or open flame For best results, apply Amitrol 240 in the early morning or evening when the humidity is higher. Avoid application when daytime temperatures exceed 25°C or when air conditions are very dry.
How it WorksSystemic herbicide that inhibits chlorophyll production. Moves through foliar and root system.
Expected ResultsWhitening begins in 7 - 14 days and plants die. Poor results may be expected if poor coverage, inadequate rate, plants over-mature or under drought stress or if tilled too soon after application.
RestrictionsRainfall: Heavy rain within 6 - 8 hours reduces effectiveness. Grazing Restrictions: Do not graze treated crops or weeds; sufficient data is not available to support such use. Re-cropping Restrictions: Crops, other than those listed in a pre-seed application may be seeded 8 months after treatment with Amitrol 240.

Registered Tank MixesHerbicides:In CLEARFIELD canola only: Lontrel 360 at 84 mL/acre or Lontrel Dry Soluble Granular at 40 g/acre.Note: The above mixes are those listed on the Ares label only.Adding ingredients in the correct order is critical for optimum performance. Check labels of products to be mixed for directions.
Application InformationRate: 244 mL/acre (40 acres per case). With: Apply with ground equipment only. Aerial Application: DO NOT apply by air. Water Volume: 20 to 40 L per acre.
Application TipsUse a combination of nozzles and pressure designed to deliver thorough, even coverage and a minimum of fine droplets that are prone to drift. DO NOT spray if temperatures of +5°C are forecast within 3 days of application. Treat crops during warm weather when weeds are actively growing and soil moisture is adequate for rapid growth. Under cool or dry conditions, control of some weeds may be severely reduced.
How it WorksAres is absorbed by foliage and roots and disrupts plant metabolism, causing growth to stop. Maximum efficacy results from foliar applications to young, actively growing plants.
Expected ResultsSusceptible weeds may stop growing within 24 - 48 hours. Yellowed growing points, yellow striping and purplish or reddish discolouration of the leaves may occur. Leaves begin to die in 3 - 10 days, starting with the youngest and moving to the older leaves. Death of the plant may occur in 1 - 3 weeks.
RestrictionsApply Ares only once per year. DO NOT enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted entry interval (REI) of 12 hours. Rainfall: Rainfall within 2 hours of application may reduce activity. Grazing: Not specified. Pre-harvest Intervals: DO NOT apply within 60 days of harvesting CLEARFIELD canola and CLEARFIELD oilseed Brassica juncea. Re-cropping Restrictions: Field peas, lentils, CLEARFIELD canola, canaryseed, oat, barley, field corn, chickpeas and spring wheat may be seeded the first full season after application. Flax, canola, durum wheat and sunflower may be seeded the second full season after application. The company recommends that a field bio-assay (a test strip grown to maturity) be conducted the year before growing any crops other than those listed above.
Environmental PrecautionsAvoid spraying in situations where drift may occur. Leave a buffer zone of at least 11 m between the outside boundary of the sprayed area and sensitive areas.
ToxicityAcute oral LD50 (rats) > 5,000 mg/kg.
StorageStore in a cool, dry place.

Application TipsApply in sufficient water (40 - 223 L/acre) to wet all foliage during periods of active growth. Do not mix or store in unlined steel (except stainless steel) containers or spray tanks. Do not use where roots from desirable vegetation may extend into the treated area. Maintain a distance from desirable trees equal to at least twice the distance from the trunk to the drip-line. Do not apply where runoff water may flow onto agricultural land.
How it WorksAbsorbed by both roots and foliage of sensitive vegetation. Translocated throughout the plant including the root system in both the xylem and the phloem. Non-selective. Plant stops growing shortly after application.
Expected ResultsPlants stop growing within 24 - 48 hours. Yellow, purplish and/or red discolouration of the leaves may occur. The growing point of the plant and the youngest leaves begin to die first, with symptoms eventually progressing to older leaves. Chlorosis and tissue necrosis may not be apparent in some plant species until 2 weeks after application. Complete kill of plants may not occur for several weeks.
RestrictionsRainfall: Rainfall within 2 hours may decrease foliar activity. Rainfall does not affect root activity or the control of non-emerged sensitive species. Grazing Restrictions: Do not graze the treated area or cut for hay. Re-cropping Restrictions: Non-crop/non-graze applications only.
Environmental PrecautionsArsenal is toxic to non-target aquatic and terrestrial plants. Leave a 20 m buffer between area of application and sensitive habitats. Do not apply where runoff water may flow onto agricultural land as injury to crops may result.
ToxicityLow acute mammalian toxicity. Acute oral LD50 (rats) 5,000 mg/kg. Non-toxic to fish, birds and bees.

In spring wheat (including durum) only
Turboprop 600** 0.7 L/acre All soil zones: Assert: 0.54 L/acre
Loveland also supports Avert with Stellar, OcTTain XL and Momentum. Apply mixes according to the most restrictive use limitations for either product. For more detailed instructions, please contact your local Loveland1 Use Dichlorprop from the 4 leaf to 6 leaf stage to avoid crop injury.
Mixing InstructionsUse mixing instructions “b” on page 13. First add the tank mix partner then the pH adjuster, then the Assert/Avert. Use one package of spray water pH adjuster per jug of Assert/Avert.
Application InformationHow to Apply: Ground applications only. Do not apply by air. Water Volume: Cereals: 20 - 40 L/acre. Note: Use Assert with pH adjuster (one bag per 10.8 L jug) or poor weed control may occur. For ground-driven pump systems, ensure spray water pH adjuster is dissolved before engaging pump.
Application TipsDo not apply Assert/Avert within 5 days of any herbicide that is not a registered tank mix. Do not make more than one application of Assert per growing season. Do not apply Assert/Avert to the same field in two successive years. Do not spray Assert when freezing temperatures are forecast. Note: the additive effect of soil residues from the use of Assert 300SC herbicide and Ally, Curtail M, Odyssey, Pursuit or Prestige herbicides on the same land has not been determined.
How it WorksAbsorbed by foliage and roots and translocated to the growing points in the plant. Disrupts plant metabolism, causing growth to stop in susceptible plants. Works best at warm temperatures. Do not apply to drought-stressed sunflower.
Expected ResultsAbsorbed through the foliage and roots of wild oats, wild mustard and stinkweed, wild buckwheat, and tartary buckwheat plants. Susceptible plants stop growing soon after spray application. Obvious signs of plant death may not be seen in some plants until 2 weeks later but the competitive effect of these plants will have been removed. Death may not occur for several weeks.
RestrictionsEffect of Rainfall: Do not apply if rain is predicted within 6 hours. Grazing: Do not graze treated fields or cut treated forage for silage or hay; sufficient data are not available to support such use. (Barley, wheat grain or straw from fields treated with Assert can be fed to livestock.) Re-cropping: Rotation to the following crops can be made. One-Year After Application: Black and Grey Wooded soil zones: spring wheat, durum wheat, barley, sunflower, canola, flax, peas. Brown and Dark Brown soil zones: spring wheat, durum wheat, barley, sunflower, and CLEARFIELD canola. Two Years After Application: Following crops can be grown in all soil zones: spring wheat, durum wheat, barley, sunflower, peas, canola, flax, oats, canary grass. Conduct a field bioassay before planting lentils and sugar beets. Note: The additive effect of soil residues from the use of Assert and Ally, Curtail M and Prestige on the same land has not been determined. Crop rotation guidelines and minimum rotation intervals are not known and injury to rotational crops other than wheat (excluding durum) may occur. Where these herbicides have been used, plant only wheat (excluding durum) until a bioassay demonstrates that other crops can be successfully grown.
Environmental PrecautionsAvoid application of Assert within 15 metres of water bodies.
ToxicityLow acute mammalian toxicity. Acute oral LD50 (rats) = 3,078 mg/kg. Non-toxic to fish, birds, and bees.
StorageStore between 0° - 35°C. Do not freeze. Shake well before using.

Apply mixes according to the most restrictive use limitations for either product. For field peas and soybean only: Viper ADV. On Clearfield canola and mustard: Ares.
Mixing InstructionsUse mixing instructions “c” on page 13.
Application InformationWater Volume: Ground: Minimum of 40 L/acre. Up to 162 L/acre of water may be used under heavy populations to improve coverage. Air: 10 - 20 L/acre. Check label for specific crop.
Application TipsHow it Works: Quizalofop-p-ethyl is a systemic herbicide that is rapidly absorbed and readily translocated from the treated foliage to the root systems and growing points of treated plants.
Expected ResultsGrassy weeds show a reduction in growth and a loss of competitiveness. An early yellowing or browning of the younger plant tissues is followed by a progressive collapse of the remaining foliage. These results will generally be observed in 1 - 3 weeks, depending on the grass species treated and the environmental conditions. Poor results may be expected if there is improper mixing, timing or coverage, or when weeds are under stress.Rainfall: Rainfall within 1 hour of application may reduce control.
RestrictionsRe-cropping: No restrictions the year after application. Grazing Restrictions: Do not graze treated fields or harvest for forage or hay. Pre-harvest Intervals: Do not apply to canola within 64 days of harvest. Do not apply to chickpeas within 85 days of harvest. Do not apply to flax within 82 days of harvest. Do not apply to lentils or peas (field and processing) within 65 days of harvest. Do not apply to beans within 30 days of harvest if used alone, 65 days if used in a tank mix with Basagran. Do not apply to soybeans within 80 days of harvest. Do not apply to industrial hemp within 73 days of harvest.
Environmental PrecautionsQuizalofop-p-ethyl is toxic to fish. Avoid spraying fish-bearing waters. Leave a 15 m buffer between treated area and sensitive habitats.

Application InformationHow to Apply: Ground or air applications. Water Volume: 20 - 40 L/acre ground, 12 - 20 L/acre air.
Application TipsThe activity of these products may be influenced by weather conditions. Optimum activity requires active crop and weed growth. The temperature range for optimum activity is 8°C to 24°C. Reduced activity will occur when temperatures are below 8°C or above 27°C. Frost before application (3 days) or shortly after (3 days) may reduce weed control and crop tolerance. Weed control may be reduced during stress conditions, e.g. drought, heat or cold stress, or if weeds have initiated flowering, or if heavy infestations exist. Application before the 4-leaf stage of wheat and barley may cause severe twisting of leaves and leaf, stem and head deformities, which may reduce, yield up to 10%. Do not apply later than the flag-leaf stage. Some twisting may be evident on barley. This twisting is transitory and may disappear within 3 weeks.
How it WorksAttain XC, Rush 24 and Flurox 24 herbicides are non residual. The components of these products move within the plant to control exposed and underground plant tissue. It mimics naturally occurring plant hormones and controls weeds by disrupting normal plant growth patterns. Symptoms include twisting of stems and swollen nodes.
Expected ResultsBroadleaf weeds: Weeds start to twist shortly after spraying. After twisting and bending, plants stop growing, turn brown and die.

RestrictionsRainfall: Do not apply if rain is expected in 1 hour. Grazing: Do not permit lactating dairy animals to graze fields within 7 days after application. Do not harvest forage or cut for hay within 30 days after application. Withdraw meat animals from treated fields at least 3 days prior to slaughter. Pre-harvest Intervals: Do not harvest the treated mature crop within 60 days after application. Re-cropping: Fields treated with these products can be seeded the following year to alfalfa, barley, canola, corn, dry beans, flax, forage grasses, lentils, mustard, oats, peas, potatoes, rye, soybeans, sugar beets, sunflower, wheat or summerfallowed. Do not seed crops other than those listed above for at least one year following treatment.
Environmental PrecautionsLeave a 15 m buffer between sprayed area and aquatic habitat. Runoff: Under certain conditions, these products have the potential to runoff from treated areas. To reduce runoff from treated areas into aquatic habitats, consider the characteristics and conditions of the site before treatment. Site characteristics and conditions that may lead to runoff include, but are not limited to heavy rainfall, moderate to steep slope, bare soil, poorly draining soil (e.g. soils that are compacted, fine textured, or low in organic matter such as clay). Avoid application of this product when heavy rain is forecast. Contamination of aquatic areas as a result of runoff may be reduced by including a vegetative strip (buffer zone) between the treated area and the edge of the water body.

Application InformationHow to Apply: Ground only. Water Volume: Minimum 40 L/acre.Authority herbicide may be applied to the soil as a pre-plant or pre-emergence (to weed and crop) surface application. Do not make fall applications to any crops.
Application TipsAll soil applications of Authority herbicide require adequate rainfall for herbicidal activation.Do not apply Authority (or any sulfentrazone products) in consecutive years. In case of drought in any of those years, a subsequent application of Authority should be further delayed. Do not apply to soils classified as coarse-textured soils. Do not apply in fine texture soils with less than 1.5% organic matter. Do not apply in any type of soils with an organic matter content greater than 6%. Do not use on soils with a pH of 7.8 or greater. If using irrigation with water that has a pH greater than 7.5, please review the label for adverse crop response. If adequate moisture from rainfall or irrigation is not received within 7 to 10 days of application, a shallow incorporation no deeper than 5 cm may be needed to obtain adequate weed control. Do not store the sprayer overnight or for an extended period of time with the sulfentrazone spray mixture in the tank.
How it WorksSulfentrazone controls weeds by the process of protoporphyrinogen oxidase inhibition (membrane disruption), a mode of action commonly referred to as PPO inhibition. Sulfentrazone is primarily taken up by the roots of treated plants. Aim (Carfentrazone) is a contact herbicide with no residual activity. Rapidly absorbed by foliage. Inhibits the PPO enzyme involved in chlorophyll and heme synthesis. This action results in leaky cell membranes and rapid browning and death.
Expected ResultsPlants emerging from treated soil turn necrotic and die after exposure to light. Foliar contact causes rapid desiccation and necrosis of exposed plant tissue. Shoot-root soil placement studies indicate that sulfentrazone is primarily absorbed by the roots of the plant following soil applications.
RestrictionsRe-cropping: Alfalfa, barley, canola, corn (field corn), wheat (spring and durum): 12 months after application. Winter wheat: 16 months. Corn (sweet and pop), lentils, sorghum: 24 months. For crops not listed above, a minimum rotational crop interval of 36 months must be observed and a representative bioassay of the field must be conducted with the rotational crop and adequate soil moisture to evaluate potential crop sensitivity. Rainfall: Rainfall is required following application to activate the herbicide and for adequate weed control. Grazing: Do not graze treated crops or cut for hay. Pre-harvest Intervals: Leave 60 days between application and harvest.
Environmental PrecautionsLeave 1 m buffer with aquatic habitats and 10 m with sensitive plants and treated area.
ToxicityOral (rats) LD50 = 2,084 mg/kg.

Fall Minimum Tillage Application: Fall minimum tillage applications should be made when the average soil temperature at the 5 cm depth is 4°C or less and within 3 weeks of soil freeze-up. This situation generally occurs by October 1. Incorporation by harrowing following application in the fall is recommended but can be performed in the spring before seeding. Do not use this treatment on soil with less than 2% organic matter. Under excessively warm or wet conditions between application and crop emergence, control may be reduced. For best results on heavy wild oat infestations, use the incorporated treatments only. Spring Minimum Tillage Application: Apply Avadex Liquid EC/MicroActiv granules in the spring when average soil temperature at the 5 cm depth is 4°C or less. Applications should be made to soil which has adequate trash cover to prevent soil erosion between application and seeding. Ensure that the time between application and incorporation is a minimum of 10 - 14 days. Do not apply more than 4 weeks before intended seeding. For optimum results with Avadex Liquid EC minimum tillage treatments, seed when wild oat growth is noticeable in the field. This will ensure that the soil is warm enough for activation of Avadex Liquid EC. Minimum tillage applications should not be made to fields covered with snow or excessive crop residue that will not allow granule contact with soil. If excessive crop residue exists at the time of application, a vigorous harrowing can be used to ensure that the herbicide granules make adequate contact with the soil. Under excessively warm or wet conditions between application and crop emergence, control may be reduced. For best results on heavy wild oat infestations, use the incorporated treatment only. Soil colour may not be a precise indicator of organic matter content. Ensure that the application rate chosen from the table is appropriate for your soil type. Conventional Tillage – please refer to the product label for information on application and incorporation recommendations under conventional tillage systems.Field Preparation: Make sure the soil is in good working condition. Reduce trash to an acceptable level before application. If soil is excessively wet or lumpy, cultivate with suitable equipment to improve soil condition. Seeding: Flax, mustard and rapeseed can be seeded in treated layers. Barley and wheat are more sensitive and should be planted 1.5 to 2.5 cm below the treated layer. Wheat must be seeded below the treated layer. After seeding, any deep ridges left by drills must be levelled by harrowing. Treflan/Rival Mixes: Drought conditions in the year of treatment may result in higher levels of Treflan/Rival carryover. To avoid wheat injury, seed 6.0 - 7.5 cm into warm, moist seedbed. A pre-seeding burn-off herbicide treatment is required to eliminate weed competition prior to crop emergence.
How it WorksAbsorbed by germinating wild oat shoots, usually resulting in death before emergence. Under dry conditions, wild oats may emerge before being killed.
Expected ResultsWild oats: Usually kills wild oats before they emerge. Scraping away the soil 1 - 2 weeks following treatment will expose white to yellow wild oats shoots 2.0 - 2.5 cm in length with pinched tips. Plants which have emerged and absorbed a lethal dose will cease growth, leaves become brittle and bluish-green in colour. Under dry conditions, a rainfall of 1.5 cm or more when wild oats are emerging can cause post-emergent die-back of a high percentage of wild oat plants. Crop: Wheat seeded into the treatment zone under very dry soil conditions may be thinned and delayed when germinating and emerging just prior to a heavy rainfall. Wheat must be seeded at least 1.5 cm below the treated layer of soil (e.g. 5 - 7.5 cm). Some wheat thinning may be noted on eroded knolls. Poor results may be expected if incomplete incorporation due to wet, cloddy soil or heavy trash, incorporation delayed, very dry soil conditions in spring or prolonged cool soil temperatures at time of germination. Ridges left by seeding may disrupt the treated layer and allow escapes.
RestrictionsRainfall: Moisture is required for activation. Rainfall of at least 1.5 cm within 2 weeks of application in the spring is required to ensure maximum performance. Grazing Restrictions: Treated underseeded legumes cannot be harvested for green feed, silage or hay in year of seeding. Do not graze the treated crop or cut for hay; there are not sufficient data to support such use. Re-cropping: Oats should not be seeded into soil treated with Avadex Liquid EC/MicroActiv in the previous year.
Environmental PrecautionsDo not apply directly to water or to areas where surface water is present. Avoid conditions that may lead to runoff or leaching. Chemical is mobile in water. Can volatilize so it is important to incorporate when applying and apply when soil temperature is 4°C or less.

Tilt 250 E 101 - 202 mL/acre 1 Always consult the label of the broadleaf herbicide prior to use. 2 Addition of surfactants with Axial is not required. 3 Suppression only on green foxtail. 4 A reduction in barnyard grass control may be observed when Axial is tank mixed with these broadleaf herbicides.
Application InformationHow to Apply: With ground equipment or aircraft. Water Volume: 20 - 40 L/acre- ground, a minimum of 12.1 L/acre by aircraft.
Mixing InstructionsUse mixing instruction “c” on page 13.
Application TipsFor optimum control, apply Axial herbicide to actively growing weeds, ideally at the 2 - 3 leaf stage. An early application will maximize crop yields by reducing weed competition. Weeds emerging after application of Axial herbicide will not be controlled. Weed control following application of Axial herbicide alone, or in combination with broadleaf weed herbicides, can be reduced or delayed under stress conditions such as drought, heat, insufficient fertility, flooding or prolonged cool temperatures. Grass escapes or re-tillering may occur if application is made during prolonged stress conditions. Optimum weed control will be obtained if application of Axial herbicide is delayed until the stress conditions have ended, and weeds are once again actively growing. Do not apply to crop that is stressed by conditions such as frost, low fertility, drought, flooding, disease or insect damage as crop injury may result. Aerial Application: Apply Axial herbicide alone or in tank mixes (ONLY with the recommended tank mix partners that are registered for aerial use) in no less than 12 litres of water per acre.
How it WorksAxial herbicide is absorbed by the leaves and is rapidly translocated to the growing points of leaves and stems. Thorough coverage of the plants is essential for consistent control.
Expected ResultsActively growing susceptible grasses stop growing within 48 hours of treatment. Depending on species, growing conditions and crop competition, leaves and growing points turn yellow within one to three weeks after application. Further colour changes and loss of vigour will be observed, followed by a browning and control three to five weeks after application.
RestrictionsRainfall: Axial herbicide alone can be used one hour before rainfall. Grazing: Observe a minimum of 7 days before grazing livestock on crops treated with Axial herbicide. Pre-harvest interval: 60 days after treatment for grain and straw and 30 days after treatment for hay. Re-cropping: For fields treated with Axial herbicide, no crop may be seeded until the following year. There are no crop rotation limitations the year following application of Axial herbicide.
Environmental PrecautionsThis product is toxic to aquatic organisms and non-target terrestrial plants. Leave 1 metre between applied area and sensitive habitats.
ToxicityAcute Oral LD50 (rats) = > 5,000 mg/kg .

How it WorksPinoxaden herbicide is absorbed by the leaves and is rapidly translocated to the growing points of leaves and stems. Thorough coverage of the plants is essential for consistent control. Pyrasulfotole is absorbed through leaves and is translocated to meristematic regions where it inhibits the HPPD enzyme. Pyrasulfotole inhibits plant pigment biosynthesis and photosynthesis.
Expected ResultsActively growing susceptible grasses stop growing within 48 hours of treatment. Depending on species, growing conditions and crop competition, leaves and growing points turn yellow within one to three weeks after application. Further colour changes and loss of vigour will be observed, followed by a browning and control three to five weeks after application. Small burnt spots on the broadleaf weeds can appear in hours. Lack of plant pigments shuts down the photosynthetic pathway resulting in bleaching symptoms and rapid death, normally in 6 - 14 days.
RestrictionsRainfall: Axial iPak herbicides can be used one hour before rainfall. Grazing: Observe a minimum of 25 days before Grazing livestock on crops treated with Axial iPak herbicides. Pre-harvest Intervals: 60 days after treatment for grain and straw and 30 days after treatment for hay. Re-cropping Restrictions: Lentils should not be seeded for 22 months after application of Axial iPak herbicides. Do not plant field peas the year following an Axial iPak herbicide application in the Brown soil zone where organic matter content is below 2.5% and where soil pH is above 7.5.
Environmental PrecautionsThis product is toxic to aquatic organisms and non-target terrestrial plants. Leave 1 metre between treated area and sensitive habitat.

How it WorksAxial Xtreme is absorbed by the leaves and is rapidly translocated to the growing points of leaves and stems, affecting both exposed and underground plant tissue. Thorough coverage of the plants is essential for consistent control.
Expected ResultsActively growing susceptible grasses stop growing within 48 hours of treatment. Depending on species, growing conditions and crop competition, leaves and growing points turn yellow within one to three weeks after application.

Roundup Ready 2 Xtend Soybeans: minimum of 40 L/acre, ground application only. Air: 8 L/acre minimum.
Application TipsCanada thistle and Perennial Sow-thistle Control in Summerfallow and Stubble: Apply before thistles reach early bud stage (15 - 25 cm tall). For the most effective control of Canada thistle, follow a long-term approach that includes in crop, post-harvest, and summerfallow treatments, in conjunction with tillage operations. If application is made after September 1, or if soil moisture levels are extremely low after application, crop injury may occur in the spring following application. Perennial Rosette Control in Summerfallow: For Canada thistle and/or perennial sow thistle only, perform the final tillage operation the last week of July or first week of August. Allow thistles to regrow for a minimum of 4 weeks and apply when the majority of thistles have emerged. Apply before thistles reach early bud stage (15 - 25 cm tall) and at least 2 weeks prior to killing frost. Engenia applied to Roundup Ready 2 Xtend Soybeans must be applied using nozzles delivering extremely coarse to ultra-coarse droplets.

Banvel II/Engenia (cont’d)
Best when crop is under good growing conditions and air temperature 10 - 25°C. Avoid application when crop is under stress from adverse environmental conditions. Do not spray if risk of frost or severe drop in night temperature is forecast. Do not use on bentgrass. Apply only at recommended crop stage, otherwise, crop damage can occur.
How it WorksAbsorbed through roots and leaves and translocated in phloem and xylem, disrupting the metabolism.
Expected ResultsWeeds: Results may take 10 - 14 days to appear. Proliferation of tissues in plant causes twisting, bending of stem and leaf petioles; cupping of leaves; increase in root size; increase in fibrous roots. Crops: Shortening of straw may occur in treated crops without adverse affects on yield. If applied at other than recommended crop stage, head and stem deformities may occur. Crops under stress from adverse environmental conditions may suffer a further setback. Crop injury may be offset by weed control obtained.
RestrictionsRainfall: Rainfall within 4 hours of application may reduce activity. Re-cropping: When Banvel/Engenia is applied at 1 L/acre on fallow or stubble, grow only beans (white), cereals, corn (field, sweet) or soybeans the next year. After Banvel/Engenia (510 mL/acre) + Roundup (690 mL/acre) for thistle control, grow the above crops or canola. If application is after September 1 or if soil is dry subsequent to application, crop injury may occur next spring. Grazing Restrictions: Canaryseed: Use seed only as bird seed. Cereals, seedling grasses: follow as per grazing and haying restrictions. Corn: Do not graze or harvest for silage until 7 days after Banvel/Engenia alone or Banvel/Engenia + 2,4-D Amine; at least 12 weeks after other tank mixes. Pastures, Rangeland, Non-Crop Area (Meat Animals): If treated vegetation has been consumed by meat animals within 30 days of Banvel/Engenia application, feed the animal with untreated diet for 30 days before slaughter. Meat animals may graze or feed on treated pasture 30 days after Banvel/Engenia application without restrictions on slaughter. Grazing and Hay Restrictions (Dairy Cattle): (Days = time between treatment and grazing or cutting.) Up to 500 mL/acre: 0 days, 501 - 930 mL/acre: 7 days, 931 mL/acre - 1.86 L/acre: 14 days, 1.87 - 2.87 L/acre: 30 days.
Environmental PrecautionsBanvel/Engenia may cause injury to desirable trees and plants, particularly soybeans, flowers, fruit trees, ornamentals, peas, potatoes, tomatoes, and other broadleaf plants especially in their developmental and growing stage. Leave an adequate buffer zone between treatment areas and sensitive plants.
ToxicityLow acute mammalian toxicity. Acute oral LD50 (rats) = formulated 2,629 mg/kg. May cause mild skin irritation and extreme eye irritation and swelling. Non-toxic to fish and birds.
StorageIf frozen, shake thoroughly before use. No activity is lost if completely resuspended.

Herbicides: Assert; Everest 2.0, clodinafop; Axial; Puma Advance; Simplicity, Traxos; Varro, GP herbicide, Simplicity GoDRI, Acapela fungicide.
Application InformationWith: Ground equipment only. Water volume: 22 L/acre (minimum).
Mixing InstructionsFill with water to ⅔ using continuous agitation; add Barricade SG, agitate for 5 minutes, then add tank mix partner. If tank mix partner is an emulsifiable concentrate, reduce agitation to prevent invert emulsion. Complete filling tank and spray.
Application TipsHigher spray volumes needed with a dense crop canopy and/or large weeds. Weeds should be less than 10 cm tall or across at application. Barricade left in the tank for more than 24 hours might have reduced effectiveness. When crop is under stress, application may result in crop injury such as temporary crop colour lightening or a slight height reduction. Clean sprayer immediately after application and use ammonia.Note: Perimeter activity is influenced by weather conditions. Optimum activity requires active crop and weed growth. The temperature range for optimum activity is 12°C to 24°C. Reduced activity will occur when temperatures are below 8°C or above 27°C. Frost before application (3 days) or shortly after (3 days) may reduce weed control and crop tolerance. Weed control may be reduced during stress conditions, e.g. drought, heat or cold stress, or if weeds have initiated flowering, or if heavy infestations exist.
How it WorksAbsorbed through foliage. Inhibits cell elongation. Causes stem elongation, leaf cupping or curling.
Expected ResultsGrowth stops immediately. Discoloration of dying weeds may not be noticeable for 1 - 3 weeks after application, depending on growing conditions and weed species. Poor results may be expected if there is improper mixing, timing, coverage or when weeds are under drought stress.
RestrictionsRainfall: Rainfall within 1 hour of application may reduce weed control. Grazing: May not be grazed or fed to livestock within 7 days of application. Pre-harvest Intervals: Allow 60 days between application and harvest. Recropping: Barley, canola, flax, forage grasses, lentils, mustard, oats, peas, rye or wheat can be seeded 10 months after application.
Environmental PrecautionsUse a 15 m buffer between sprayed area and sensitive habitat. Do not contaminate water when cleaning equipment.
ToxicityBarricade is a combination package of 2 products: Barricade SG and Perimeter: Barricade SG: Low oral toxicity. Oral LD50 (rats) = > 5,000 mg/kg. Perimeter: Moderate oral toxicity. Acute oral LD50 (rats) = > 3,162 mg/kg. Eye irritant, skin irritant.

Table of Contents
How it WorksContact herbicide that interferes with photosynthesis. In resistant plants, bentazon metabolizes to a non-toxic material. Uptake into the plant occurs primarily through the leaves. Thorough coverage of foliage is important for consistent weed control.
Expected ResultsWeeds: Weeds turn yellow initially and then brown, usually within 2 weeks. Crops: Yellowing, bronzing, speckling or burning occurs sometimes. The crop usually outgrows the condition within 10 days. Poor results may be expected when weeds are beyond recommended growth stage, when spray coverage is poor or under poor growing conditions (cool weather conditions or drought).
RestrictionsRainfall: Rainfall within 6 - 8 hours of application may reduce activity. Grazing: Do not graze treated fields or cut treated forage for silage or hay; sufficient data are not available to support such use. Re-cropping: No restrictions the year after treatment.
Environmental PrecautionsBasagran/Basagran Forte/Benta Super is toxic to aquatic organisms, including fish. Do not apply this product directly or contaminate aquatic habitats or water sources. Leaching: The use of bentazon may result in contamination of groundwater, particularly in areas where soils are permeable. Drift: Avoid drift into non-target areas.
ToxicityIngestion: moderate toxicity: Acute oral LD50 (rats) = 2,063 mg/kg. Slightly toxic to fish. Non-toxic to birds and bees.
StorageStore in a heated place; freezing will not affect activity.

Application TipsAvoid spraying until mid-afternoon when daytime temperatures will exceed 22°C. High humidity increases efficacy. Best results are obtained with repeat applications of the lowest rate commencing when the first weeds emerge. Do not apply during periods of dead calm. Avoid application when winds are gusty.
How it WorksAbsorbed through leaves. Sharply inhibits rate of assimilation of CO2 in treated plants within 6 hours. Resistant species (sugar beets) begin recovery in this time while susceptible species do not.
Expected ResultsUnder warm conditions, weed kill is complete in 4 - 7 days. Cool conditions require longer periods of up to 2 weeks.
RestrictionsRainfall: Rainfall within 6 hours of application may reduce weed kill. Grazing: Do not graze treated crops or use for livestock feed; sufficient data are not available to support such use. Pre-harvest Intervals: Do not apply to sugar beet later than 60 days prior to harvest. Recropping: Recropping restrictions not specified on the label.

Application Information Apply with ground equipment only. Water volume: Minimum 40 L per acre.
Application TipsGood growing conditions promote weed growth and enhance the activity of BlackHawk. Weeds hardened off by cold weather or drought stress may not be controlled. Insufficient water volumes or coarse sprays may also reduce control levels.
How it WorksBlackHawk Herbicide is designed for use as a contact and systemic herbicide for broadleaf weed control. Pyraflufen-ethyl, a member of the phenyl pyrazole class of herbicides, inhibits the protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO) enzyme, which results in cell membrane destruction and necrosis. 2,4-D ester, a member of the phenoxy class of herbicides, mimics the plant growth regulator indol-3-acetic acid (auxin), interfering with cell enlargement and division as well as development in susceptible plants.
Expected ResultsSymptoms appear very rapidly (a few hours under bright conditions). Leaves of weeds take on a water-soaked appearance, followed by wilting and necrosis. Susceptible plants become malformed before they die. Complete death occurs within a few days.
RestrictionsRainfall: No rainfast period is specified. Contact manufacturer for more information. Grazing: Do not permit lactating dairy animals to graze fields within 7 days after application. Do not harvest or cut treated crops for forage until 30 days after application. Withdraw meat animals from treated fields at least 3 days before slaughter. Re-cropping: All crops can be seeded 30 days after an application of Blackhawk herbicide.

Table of Contents
Application InformationHow to Apply: Ground only. Do not apply by air. Water Volume: 20 - 40 L/acre.
Application TipsFor optimum results, apply Broadband herbicide to actively growing weeds. Weeds emerging after application of Broadband will not be controlled. Do not apply to crops stressed by conditions such as frost, low fertility, drought, flooding, disease or insect damage as crop injury may result.
How it WorksBroadband herbicide is absorbed by the leaves and is rapidly translocated to the growing points of leaves and stems of target weeds. It must be applied early post emergence to the main flush of actively growing annual broadleaf and grass weeds. Thorough coverage of the plants is essential for consistent control.
Expected ResultsBroadband is a systemic, post-emergence herbicide. Broadband herbicide stops growth of susceptible weeds rapidly. Actively growing, susceptible grass and broadleaf weeds stop growing within 48 hours of treatment; however, typical symptoms (discolouration) of dying broadleaf weeds may not be noticeable for 1 to 2 weeks after application. Depending on species, growing conditions and crop competition, leaves and growing points of annual grass weeds turn yellow within one to three weeks after application. Further colour changes and loss of vigour will be observed, followed by a browning and control 3 to 5 weeks after application.
RestrictionsRainfall: Broadband alone can be used one hour before rainfall. Grazing: Wait a minimum of 7 days before grazing livestock on treated crops. Pre-harvest Intervals: Observe minimum interval to harvest of 60 days after treatment for grain and straw and of 30 days after treatment for hay. Re-cropping: On fields sprayed with Broadband, no crop may be seeded until the following year. There are no crop rotation limitations the year following application of Broadband.
Environmental PrecautionsThe active ingredient, pinoxaden, is non-toxic to birds and insects (bees) and slightly toxic to aquatic organisms. The active ingredient, florasulam, is practically non-toxic to insects (bees), aquatic invertebrates (water flea), fish, and is non-toxic to slightly toxic to birds. Avoid contamination of water supplies or aquatic habitats.
ToxicityAcute oral toxicity: LD50 (rats) = 3,129 mg/kg. Broadband herbicide contains materials that may cause severe pneumonitis if aspirated.
StorageHeated storage required. Store the product in closed, original container in a well ventilated room.

Application InformationHow to Apply: Ground and air (for wheat, barley and oats only). Water Volume: Ground: 20 L/acre or more. Corn: 80 - 120 L/acre. Seedling grasses: 60 L/acre. Established timothy: 60 L/acre. Air: 8 L/acre or more.
Application TipsAvoid spraying during a severe drought. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity, slight discolouration of cereals may occur but no effect on crop yields. Flax is less tolerant than cereals; therefore, do not spray flax in hot, humid weather when daytime temperatures are over 25 - 29°C. Best results are achieved when weeds are sprayed in seedling stage, with good spray coverage. Corn: Buctril M at 400 mL/acre (or Mextrol/Badge/Logic M at 500 mL/acre) as an overall spray only up to 6 leaf stage. Buctril M + Atrazine (or Mextrol/Badge/Logic M + Atrazine) for a broader spectrum of weed control. Cultivation after application is not recommended.
How it WorksBromoxynil is a contact type herbicide; therefore, good spray coverage is essential. Inhibits photosynthesis and plant respiration. MCPA is absorbed through leaves and is readily translocated in the plant.
Expected ResultsSmall burnt spots on the leaf can appear within hours; death takes up to 2 weeks. Poor results may be expected if poor coverage. Poor penetration through dense crop canopy.
RestrictionsRainfall: Rainfall within 1 hour of application may reduce weed control. Grazing: Do not graze or harvest for greenfeed until 30 days after treatment. Pre-harvest Intervals: Do not cut treated crops for forage until 30 days after application. Re-cropping: No restrictions. Re-entry: DO NOT enter treated fields for at least 24 hours.
Environmental PrecautionsBuctril M/Badge/Logic M/Mextrol 450 contains a petroleum distillate, which is moderately to highly toxic to aquatic organisms. Observe buffer zones specified on the label under Directions for Use.

Application InformationHow to Apply: With Calmix spreader or shaker. Do not apply by hand. Do not apply by air.
Application TipsDo not use near lawns or flower beds. Do not apply closer than 1.5 times the height of desirable trees, ornamentals or plants. Roots from large trees may extend well beyond the height of the tree and may extend beneath areas to be treated. Be cautious where trees are in close proximity to the treatment site. Do not apply on slopes where water erosion may carry chemical onto areas of desirable vegetation. Do not contaminate water used for irrigation or other domestic uses.
How it WorksSystemic action, enters plant via roots.
Expected ResultsVegetation turns brown and dies. No new growth will appear, resulting in bare ground. Rapidity and duration of control will depend on amount of chemical applied, soil type and environmental conditions. Poor results may be expected if inadequate application rates, soil erosion removes chemical from treated area when applied on slopes or insufficient rainfall to activate chemical.
Restrictions Rainfall: Moisture will activate and carry the herbicide into the root zone. Movement in Soil: Once fixed in the soil, there is very little lateral movement. Pellets and granular can be carried by erosion.
Environmental PrecautionsToxic to small mammals, birds, aquatic organisms and terrestrial plants. This product will harm broadleaved and grass plants in the vicinity of the treatment area. Do not apply to exposed roots of trees and ornamentals.Leaching: This product may leach in coarse textured soils or where there is a high water table.
ToxicityBromacil: Acute oral LD50 (rats) = 1,650 mg/kg. Slightly irritating to skin. 2,4-D: Acute oral LD50 (rats) = 699 mg/kg Calmix Pellets are slightly toxic to fish. Non-toxic to birds. May cause burns and may be absorbed through the skin.

Perennials: Apply in fall (October 15 until soil freeze-up) on crops established for at least 1 year. Note: Quackgrass and artemisia in established woody ornamentals: apply in fall and again in the early spring before May 1.Raspberries: Apply in late fall but before soil freeze-up. Do not cultivate or work into the soil. Do not apply in spring as injury may occur.
Registered Tank MixesNone.
Application InformationCasoron can be spread on the soil surface by hand, using small hand-held or backpack equipment, or by larger and tractor-mounted spreaders. Do not apply by air.
Application TipsDo not apply until 4 weeks after transplanting any crop. Casoron should be applied when the soil temperature is cool. Air temperatures should be less than 15°C. Applying at higher temperatures may reduce its herbicidal activity. Casoron will stay in the upper 10 cm of soil and will not harm established plants with a well developed root system below this herbicide barrier. Do not use in seedbeds, transplant, or cutting beds or in greenhouses. Do not apply until 6 months after rooting of cuttings in the field.
How it WorksCasoron inhibits cell growth at the growing points or meristematic tissues of the plant. Weed germination and growth initiation are strongly affected. Water is necessary to move the compound into the soil. Snowmelt or rain after the application moves Casoron into the soil. Casoron inhibits germination but acts primarily on growing points and root tips.
Expected ResultsGrowth of emerging shoots of some perennials controlled. Tolerant crops are unaffected if roots do not come in contact with Casoron in the upper layers of the soil.
RestrictionsGrazing: Do not graze livestock in treated areas or use treated crops for forage or fodder; sufficient data are not available to support such use. Horticultural/Nursery Use: Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas within 24 hours of application. Re-cropping: Do not plant vegetables or other sensitive crops the year following soil treatment.
Environmental PrecautionsCasaron is toxic to aquatic organisms and slightly toxic to fish. Avoid contamination of aquatic systems during application.
ToxicityLow oral toxicity. Acute oral LD50 (rats) = 2,000 mg/kg.
StorageDry storage - not affected by frost.

Dow AgroSciences supports the following tank mixes that are not on the Cirpreme/Cirpreme XC label. Axial and Axial Xtreme (if adding MCPA Ester 600, do not exceed 189 mL/acre with Axial tank mixes). Apply mixes according to the most restrictive use limitation for either product.
Application Information How to Apply: Ground only. Water volume: 40 L/acre. Apply when weeds are actively growing. Only weeds emerged at the time of treatment will be controlled. Best results are obtained from applications made to seedling weeds. Read and observe all label directions when applied as a tank mix combination. Cirpreme is a selective post-emergent herbicide for control of hard-to-kill annual broadleaf weeds and selected perennial weeds. Warm, moist growing conditions promote active weed growth and enhance the activity of Cirpreme by allowing for maximum foliar uptake and systemic movement of the herbicide.
How it WorksCirpreme is a mixture of a systemic auxin herbicide (Group 4) and an ALS enzyme inhibitor herbicide (Group 2). The product controls weeds by disrupting normal plant growth patterns and/or by inhibiting the production of the enzymes essential for the production of certain amino acids for plant growth.
Expected ResultsWeeds start to twist between 2 to 20 days after spraying, depending on weather conditions, rate of growth, moisture and the weeds being targeted by this herbicide application. Symptoms include twisting, bending and yellowing, with weeds turning brown, resulting in plant mortality.
RestrictionsAvoid application if rainfall is forecast with 4 hours. Grazing: Livestock may be grazed on treated crops 7 days following application. Re-entry: Do not re-enter the field for 12 hours. Pre-harvest Intervals: Do not harvest the treated crop for 60 days after application. Re-cropping: Fields previously treated with Cirpreme after a period of 10 months can be seeded to wheat, spring barley, canola, flax, mustard, or fields can be summerfallowed. Do not seed to crops other than those listed above in the calendar year following treatment. Consult manufacturer for rotations on crops not listed.
Environmental PrecautionsA 1 metre buffer zone is required between treated area, terrestrial and water habits. Do not allow spray drift to come in contact with sensitive broadleaf crops. Spray when the wind velocity is 15 km/hr or less.
ToxicityLD50 > 5,000 mg/kg for Paradigm. LD50 > 2,000 mg/kg for Lontrel.StorageStore in the original containers in secure, dry, well ventilated storage. Store in heated storage. If product is frozen, bring to room temperature and agitate before use.

Application Information Apply with ground equipment only. Water volume: Minimum 40 L per acre.
Application TipsGood growing conditions promote weed growth and enhance the activity of CleanStart. Weeds hardened off by cold weather or drought stress may not be controlled. Insufficient water volumes or coarse sprays may also reduce control levels.
How it WorksCredit is a non-selective herbicide that moves through the foliage into the roots and kills the entire plant. Aim EC is a contact herbicide; therefore, coverage of the weeds is essential for control.
Expected ResultsSymptoms appear very rapidly (a few hours under bright conditions). Leaves of weeds take on a water-soaked appearance, followed by wilting and necrosis. Complete death occurs within a few days.
RestrictionsRainfall: No rainfast period is specified on the label; required interval may be up to 8 hours. Contact manufacturer for more information. Re-cropping: None.

Use sprayers equipped with standard flat fan pesticide nozzles with a spray volume of 41 L/acre at a constant pressure of 275 - 425 kPa. Tilt spray nozzles 45 degrees forward to ensure better coverage. The use of 50 mesh strainers and screens is recommended. Always use Merge adjuvant at 1.0% v/v for optimum performance.
Application TipsApply Clever/MasterLine Quinclorac/Ingenious when weeds are small and actively growing. Early treatment of weeds with Clever/MasterLine Quinclorac/Ingenious is important to maximize crop yield potential through elimination of early weed competition. Some initial crop injury may be observed after application, but this injury is usually outgrown and should not affect crop yield
How it Works Uptake into the plant occurs through both the foliage and root system as the herbicide is mainly systemic. Coverage of foliage is important for consistent weed control. Visual symptoms of weed control of Clever/MasterLine Quinclorac/Ingenious may take up to 2 weeks following application to develop. These symptoms include initial twisting to stunting, reddening and chlorosis about 14 days followed by necrosis and death about 21 days after application as characteristic auxin-like symptoms in broadleaf species.
Expected Results DO NOT apply to crop that is under stress from conditions such as frost, hail, flooding, drought or extremes in temperature. Cool weather or drought may delay weed control and if prolonged may result in poor weed control.
RestrictionsRainfall: Rainfall within 6 hours may reduce control. DO NOT apply Clever/MasterLine Quinclorac/Ingenious to any field more often than every second year. This practice must be respected to avoid potential injury to future rotational crops, to minimize the potential for carryover and accumulation of soil residues, and to reduce the selection pressure that could contribute to the development of resistant biotypes. Pre-harvest Intervals: Pre-harvest canola and CLEARFIELD canola quality Brassica juncea and tame mustard (brown and oriental) 60 days. Pre-harvest wheat, canaryseed and durum 77 days. Barley - 80 days. Re-cropping: Barley, canola, field peas, sunflowers and wheat including durum may be grown the year after application. Flax and lentils may be grown the second year after application. On lighter soils with low organic matter or under dry conditions, some crop injury may occur, particularly in flax and lentils, but will not reduce yield. Under these conditions, the minimum re-cropping interval for flax and lentils should be extended by 12 months. In case of crop failure, only barley or spring wheat (including durum) may be reseeded the same year. The company recommends that a field bioassay (a test strip grown to maturity) be conducted the year before growing any crops other than those listed.
Environmental PrecautionsDo not apply quinclorac when weather conditions may cause spray drift from treated areas to adjacent crops. Certain crops such as alfalfa, clover species, fababeans, flax, lentils, ornamentals, potatoes and vegetables will be injured by spray drift.

Crops, Staging and Rates
Crop Staging Rate
Herbicide tolerant canola Prior to seeding 100 - 134 mL/acre
Weeds, Rates and StagingPre-emergence control of cleavers. Suppression at 100 mL/acre rate.
Application InformationHow to Apply: Ground equipment only with a sprayer that can apply 40 L/acre of spray solution. Aerial application: DO NOT apply by air.
Application Tips Temporary whitening and/or yellowing of the crop may occur when it emerges from treated soil. Do not make more than one application per season. Apply prior to seeding canola. DO NOT incorporate Command 360 ME herbicide. Do not apply to sandy soils. Control may be reduced in high organic matter soils.
How it Works Clomazone is absorbed by roots and emerging shoots and transported in the xylem to foliage. It interferes with a specific energy pathway in the synthesis of chlorophyll.
Expected Results Command 360 ME is to be used as part of a system approach for the treatment of cleavers in all herbicide tolerant canola varieties. For season-long control, an application of post-emergence herbicide that is effective on cleavers, e.g. a herbicide to which the canola variety is tolerant, is required. Moisture is necessary to activate the active ingredient clomazone in soil for weed control. Temporary whitening and/or yellowing of the crop may occur when it emerges from the treated soil. Dry weather following applications may reduce effectiveness.
RestrictionsRainfall: Avoid application when heavy rain is forecast. Heavy rainfall shortly after application may reduce weed control. Grazing: DO NOT graze the treated crop or cut for feed. Re-cropping: Soybeans, beans (white, kidney, snap), corn (field, sweet), peas, potatoes, canola, spring wheat: the following spring. All other crops, 16 months.
Environmental PrecautionsRunoff: Low mobility in soils. Leaching: Leaching is not a problem. Broken down by soil bacteria.
ToxicityMammalian toxicity. Acute oral LD50 (rats) > 5,000 mg/kg.
StorageKeep in a dry, cool, well ventilated place.

Application InformationHow to Apply: With: Ground equipment only. Do not apply by air. Water volume: 40 - 60 L/acre.
Mixing InstructionsUse mixing instructions “a” on page 13.
Application TipsWhen weeds are under extreme drought stress or showing effects of excessive moisture, control can be reduced or delayed. Weed escapes may occur under prolonged stress conditions or low fertility. Do not apply to weeds stressed for more than 20 days due to lack of moisture as unsatisfactory control can result. Ensure uniform spray coverage over the entire area of target weeds.
How it WorksClopyralid is a growth regulator type of herbicide. It is primarily absorbed through the foliage and is translocated to all parts of the plant causing leaf and stem twisting and yellowing and then death. MCPA is a systemic herbicide for broadleaf weeds, which is translocated throughout the plant causing rapid undifferentiated growth, which usually results in the death of susceptible weeds.
Expected ResultsWeeds start to twist after spraying; then, plants turn brown and die. Difficult to control weeds such as Canada thistle and wild buckwheat stop growing, change colour to dark green and then turn yellow before they die. Death may not occur for 14 - 21 days after application. Some weak Canada thistle regrowth may occur by end of season.
RestrictionsRainfall: Do not apply if rain is expected in 6 hours. Grazing: Do not cut or graze treated fields of wheat, barley, oats or flax within 7 days after application. Pre-harvest Intervals: Do not harvest wheat, barley, oats or flax within 60 days after application or within 7 days after application when harvesting for forage. Withdraw meat animals from treated fields at least 3 days before slaughter. Re-cropping: Fields previously treated with Curtail M herbicide can be seeded to wheat, barley, oats and rye (not under-seeded to forage legumes), canola, corn, field peas, flax, forage grasses, mustard, sugar beets or can be summer-fallowed in the following year. Do not seed to field peas for at least 10 months following treatment. Very dry soil conditions following application can result in a risk of injury to field peas grown in rotation. If severe drought conditions are experienced during the months of June to August inclusive in the year of application, delay seeding field peas an additional 12 months (total 22 months following application).
Environmental PrecautionsCurtail M contains a petroleum distillate that is moderately to highly toxic to aquatic organisms. Avoid contamination of aquatic systems during application and cleanup. Observe buffer zones specified under Directions For Use on the label.

Application InformationApply with ground sprayers. Do not apply by air. Water volume: 22 L/acre minimum. Caution: Apply within 24 hours of mixing.
How it WorksAbsorbed through foliage. Inhibits cell development.
Expected ResultsWeed growth stops immediately. Discolouration of dying weeds may not be noticeable for 1 - 3 weeks after application depending on growing conditions and weed species. Poor results may be expected if there is improper mixing, timing, coverage or when weeds are under stress. Weeds hardened off by cold weather or drought stress may not be adequately controlled or suppressed, and re-growth may occur.
RestrictionsRainfall: Rainfall within 4 hours of application may lessen degree of weed control. Grazing: Barley, oats and wheat may be grazed or fed to livestock 7 days after application. Re-cropping: Do not plant to any crop until 2 months after application. Maximum Allowable Application: Do not exceed a total of 8 g/acre of Deploy or Nimble per crop year.
Environmental PrecautionsDeploy/ Nimble/MPower R are toxic to non-target terrestrial plants and aquatic organisms. Leave a 15 m buffer zone between sprayed area and sensitive habitats.
ToxicityIngestion: Low toxicity. Acute oral LD50 (rats) = > 5,000 mg/kg. Dermal: Low toxicity. Inhalation: Low toxicity.

Registered Tank MixesDistinct should always be tank mixed with glyphosate 0.5 - 1 L/acre of 360 g/l equivalent for chemfallow and post-harvest applications. Merge (200ml/acre) is always required regardless of the glyphosate formulation used. In field corn, if Distinct is applied alone, should use 1.25% non-ionic surfactant + 1.25% of 28% UAN. Do not use either UAN or a non-ionic surfactant if mixed with glyphosate.
Application InformationHow to Apply: Ground equipment only. Water Volume: 20 - 40 L/acre. Use higher water volume (40 L/acre) for dense weed stands or larger weeds and if applying on glyphosate resistant kochia.
Application TipsGood growing conditions promote weed growth and enhance the activity of Distinct. Weeds hardened off by cold weather or drought stress may not be controlled. Insufficient water volumes or coarse sprays may also reduce control levels.
How it WorksAbsorbed through roots and leaves and translocated in phloem and xylem causing a disruption in cell metabolism.
RestrictionsRainfall: Rainfall within 4 hours of application may reduce activity. Grazing: Do not graze treated fields for 75 days after corn application. Re-cropping: Contact manufacturer for a list of approved crops the following season.

Application InformationHow to Apply: Apply with ground equipment only. Do not apply by air. Note: Do not use galvanized steel or unlined steel tanks as a combustible gas may be formed. Water volume: 40 L/acre.
Application TipsEnsure that the crop has not advanced beyond the recommended leaf stage for application. Treat crops during warm weather when weeds are actively growing. Best results are obtained when Canada thistle is actively growing and soil moisture is adequate for rapid growth. Do not treat weeds under poor growing conditions. Reduced results may occur when treating weeds heavily covered with dust. Reduced results may occur if water-containing soil is used, such as water from ponds and unlined ditches.
How it WorksEclipse tank mix is readily absorbed by foliage and roots. Eclipse A is a systemic, hormone-type herbicide absorbed by leaf, stem surfaces and roots and translocated upwards and downward. Eclipse B is a non-selective, systemic herbicide that moves from the foliage into the roots and kills the entire plant. Maximum efficacy results from foliar application to young, actively growing plants.
Expected ResultsUnder good growing conditions, wilting and yellowing of annuals occurs within 2 - 4 days. Herbicide symptoms on affected annual and perennial weeds may also include swollen growing points and roots, cupping of leaves, twisted and distorted stems and leaves. Cool or cloudy weather may slow activity. Affected weeds turn yellow before turning brown as they die. Death of weeds may not occur until 14 - 21 days after application. Browning of above ground growth and deterioration of roots occurs.
RestrictionsRainfall: Do not apply if rainfall is forecast for the time of application. Grazing: Allow 3 to 5 days before grazing treated areas. Re-cropping: Fields previously treated with Eclipse III tank mix can be seeded the following year to wheat, oats, barley, rye (not underseeded with legumes, clover or alfalfa), forage grasses, flax, canola, mustard, field peas, or they can be summerfallowed. Seed only those crops listed above in the year following treatment. Do not seed to field peas for at least 10 months following treatment. Very dry soil conditions following application can result in a risk of injury to field peas grown in rotation. If severe drought conditions are experienced during the months of June to August inclusive in the year of application, delay seeding field peas an additional 12 months (total 22 months following application). Manure and Straw: Residues of the herbicide tank mix occurring in the straw may be harmful to susceptible plants. Do not use straw or crop residue from treated crops for composting or mulching susceptible broadleaved crops. If the straw or crop residue is used for animal bedding or feed, return the manure to fields to be planted to clopyralid tolerant crops such as wheat, barley, oats, rye, forage grasses, canola or flax. Do not grow susceptible crops such as peas, beans, lentils, potatoes, sunflowers or other sensitive crops on land which has been mulched with straw containing clopyralid residues within the last 12 months. such as peas, lentils, potatoes, and sunflower.

Application InformationDirections for use - direct-seeding systems: Direct seeding is defined as seed placement into standing stubble (including chemical fallow) with minimum soil disturbance and maximum surface residue retention. Edge for weed control in direct-seeding systems is intended for use on soils that have been in a low disturbance, direct-seeding system with < 30% soil disturbance for at least 2 consecutive years. In the year of seeding, a one pass, direct-seeding operation with minimal soil disturbance (<30%) is recommended. Edge applied to the soil surface provides long-lasting control of susceptible weeds within the top 2.5 cm of the soil surface Edge in direct-seeding systems is adsorbed to the soil surface and will not control weeds that germinate from a deeper depth (>2.5 cm) or pre-emerged weeds.Land preparation - crop residue management: At harvest, chopping, spreading and even distribution of straw and chaff residues is an effective method of straw management. Poor crop residues may create plugging or hair pinning during the seeding operation. Poor and uneven crop emergence, cold wet soils, soil nutrient tie-up and delayed and uneven maturity may also be a result of inadequate trash management. Preseeding (burn off) weed control: A preseeding burn-off herbicide treatment is required to eliminate weed competition prior to crop emergence. Application instructions: Apply Edge Granular uniformly with a properly calibrated granular herbicide applicator. Avoid concentration of the herbicide in narrow bands. A single harrow operation assists in managing straw residue to ensure good herbicide soil contact. Avoid excessive soil disturbance.Seeding instructions: Use direct-seeding equipment seeding at a uniform depth to ensure seed-soil contact and rapid crop emergence. Minimum soil disturbance ensures a uniform herbicide layer at the soil surface.Fall application: Edge for weed control in direct-seeding systems may be applied in the fall between October 1 and prior to soil freeze-up for weed control the following year. Apply Edge at the fall rates listed above using a harrow operation to manage crop residue and ensure herbicide soil contact.Spring application: Edge for weed control in direct-seeding systems may be applied in the spring. These applications should be made at the spring application rates listed above and applied as early as field conditions permit and at least 10 days prior to seeding. The shallow harrow incorporation should be performed within 24 hours of application.
Application TipsTo avoid concentrating wild oat and volunteer cereal seeds below the treated layer, do not plow the land prior to Edge application. Do not apply to fields spread with manure during the past 12 months. Do not apply to soils subject to prolonged periods of flooding or soils in poor working condition. Edge Granular can be used where trash is heavier or on standing weeds provided they do not interfere with distribution of the granules and do not limit incorporation. Do not apply on soils with less than 2% organic matter. Application on eroded knolls or Grey Wooded soils with highly variable texture and organic matter may result in a reduced crop stand, delayed development or reduced yield in either treated crop or rotational crop.
How it WorksA pre-emergence herbicide that kills seedlings as they germinate. Inhibits cell division in the actively growing points of the root and shoot. Does not control established weeds.
Expected ResultsWeeds: Most die before emerging. Weeds will exhibit swelling of the coleoptile region, stubby, thick primary root development and lack of secondary roots. Plants die from lack of ability to obtain moisture.
RestrictionsGrazing: Do not graze the treated crops or cut for hay. There are not sufficient data available to support such use. Re-cropping: Do not grow oats, sugar beets and small-seeded grasses such as timothy, canaryseed grass and creeping red fescue in rotation following a crop treated with Edge herbicide. If ethalfluralin and/or trifluralin have been used at the oilseed/special crop rate for two consecutive years, wheat should not be seeded. Do not direct seed (zero till) a rotational crop into standing stubble on land that has been treated with trifluralin or ethalfluralin for the previous crop. Cultivation prior to seeding of the rotational crop is strongly recommended to help aerate the soil and promote seedbed conditions, which will enhance seed germination.Caution: The persistence of Edge herbicide is influenced by soil moisture and the majority of breakdown occurs during the growing season. If drought or extended dry periods were present in the previous year, higher levels of Edge herbicide may be present in the soil. To reduce the possibility of injury to rotational crops, seed shallow into a warm, moist seedbed using recommended agronomic practices and seeding depths. As an additional safety precaution, seeding rate may be increased slightly (10%).

Improve control of wild mustard and narrow-leaved hawk’s beard in alfalfa and bird’sfoot trefoil.
Application InformationHow to Apply: Ground equipment. Do not apply by air. Water Volume: 60 - 80 L/acre.
Application TipsDo not exceed recommended rate and apply at appropriate growth stage for each crop. Apply product in warm weather. Do not apply under drought conditions. Application must be made before the crop shields the weeds.
How it WorksSusceptible plants convert 2,4-DB to 2,4-D. Certain legumes do not convert it. 2,4-DB is translocated to actively growing parts.
Expected ResultsWeeds should die within 2 - 3 weeks of treatment. Smartweeds seedlings only stunted.
RestrictionsRainfall: Rainfall before the foliage has dried from the spraying may decrease activity. Grazing: Do not use treated crops for grazing of livestock or green feed until 30 days after application
Environmental Precautions2,4-D B formulations contain a petroleum distillate, which is moderately to highly toxic to aquatic organisms.
ToxicityLow acute mammalian toxicity. Acute oral LD50 (rats) = 1,603 mg/kg. Toxic to fish. Non-toxic to birds and bees.

Application Information Rate: 0.243* – 0.486 L/acreWater: 40 L/acre* Use the 0.243 L/acre rate only when the weeds are smaller and the fields have light infestation of weeds.
How it WorksBromoxynil is a contact type herbicide; therefore, good spray coverage is essential. Inhibits photosynthesis and plant respiration. Fluroxypyr and 2,4-D ester herbicides are selective for broad leaf control in grassy crops. The components of these products move within the plant to control exposed and underground plant tissue. It mimics naturally occurring plant hormones and controls weeds by disrupting normal plant growth patterns. Symptoms include twisting of stems and swollen nodes.
Expected ResultsSmall burnt spots on the leaf can appear within hours; death takes up to 2 weeks. Poor results may be expected if poor coverage, poor penetration through dense crop canopy. Weeds start to twist shortly after spraying. After twisting and bending, plants stop growing, turn brown and die.
RestrictionsDo not use treated crops for grazing livestock or green feed until 30 days after application. Withdraw meat animals from treated fields at least 3 days before slaughter. Do not harvest the treated crop within 60 days after application.
ToxicityAcute oral LD50 (rats) 1,030 mg/kg.

Mixing InstructionsHalf fill the tank with clean water. Add the required amount of Enforcer M and agitate thoroughly. Add any tank mix partners. Fill the tank and agitate again before use.
Application InformationOptimum activity requires active crop and weed growth. The temperature range for optimum activity is 12 to 24°C. Reduced activity will occur when temperatures are below 8°C or above 27°C. Frost before application (3 days) or shortly after (3 days) may reduce weed control and crop tolerance.
RestrictionsFields previously treated with Enforcer M/Forcefighter M can be seeded the following year to barley, canola, flax, forage grasses, lentils, mustard, oats, peas, rye and wheat, or fields can be summerfallowed.
How it WorksBromoxynil is a contact-type herbicide; therefore, good spray coverage is essential. Inhibits photosynthesis and plant respiration. Fluroxypyr and MCPA ester herbicides are selective and non-residual. The components of these products move within the plant to control exposed and underground plant tissue. It mimics naturally occurring plant hormones and controls weeds by disrupting normal plant growth patterns. Symptoms include twisting of stems and swollen nodes.
Expected ResultsSmall burnt spots on the leaf can appear within hours; death takes up to 2 weeks. Poor results may be expected if poor coverage, poor penetration through dense crop canopy. Weeds start to twist shortly after spraying. After twisting and bending, plants stop growing, turn brown and die.
RestrictionsDO NOT enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted-entry interval (REI) of 24 hours. Do not use treated crops for grazing livestock or green feed until 30 days after application. Do not harvest forage or cut hay within 30 days after application. Withdraw meat animals from treated fields at least 3 days before slaughter. Do not harvest the treated crop within 60 days after application.
Environmental PrecautionsA 15 metre buffer zone is required between freshwater, marine and terrestrial habitats and the treated crop areas.

move within the plant to control exposed and underground plant tissue. They mimic naturally occurring plant hormones and control weeds by disrupting normal plant growth patterns. Symptoms include twisting of stems and swollen nodes. Thifensulfuron and tribenuron are inhibitors of the ALS enzyme. They are absorbed through foliage and inhibit cell elongation.
Expected ResultsSmall burnt spots on the leaf can appear within hours; death takes up to 2 weeks. Weeds start to twist shortly after spraying and become necrotic from the leaf edges in. After twisting and bending, plants stop growing, turn brown and die. Weeds will show necrotic leaf tissue and may exhibit purple discolouration on stem and leaves.
RestrictionsDO NOT enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted-entry interval (REI) of 24 hours. Grazing: Do not use treated crops for grazing livestock or green feed until 30 days after application. Withdraw meat animals from treated fields at least 3 days before slaughter.

Application Information How to Apply: Apply with ground equipment or irrigation water. Do not apply by air. Water Volume: 45 L/ac minimum. Incorporation: Incorporate immediately. Second incorporation must be at right angles to the first. Apply evenly and mix with a minimum of the top 7.5 cm of soil thoroughly.
Application TipsFor use on mineral soils only. When applying Eptam 8-E with granular fertilizer, a minimum of 81 kg/ac and a maximum of 324 kg/acre of fertilizer is required. See product label for further instructions.
How it WorksTaken up by the roots and shoots of a germinating weed where it disrupts and stops further shoot growth.
Expected ResultsWeeds: Absorbed by the weed shoot; therefore, most affected weeds will not emerge. Numerous chlorotic and bleached shoots may be visible by removing the top few inches of treated soil. Provides effective weed control for approximately 6 - 8 weeks. Crops: If crop seedlings are weak, some injury may occur.
RestrictionsRainfall: Soluble in water, may leach under wet conditions. Grazing: Do not graze or harvest for livestock feed in year of treatment. Pre-harvest Intervals: Do not apply within 45 days of harvest. Re-cropping: No restrictions.
Environmental PrecautionsEptam 8-E is toxic to fish and wild mammals.

How it WorksAbsorbed by foliage. Inhibits cell elongation.
Expected ResultsEscort rapidly stops growth of susceptible species; however, typical symptoms (discolouration) may not be noticeable for several weeks after application, depending on growing conditions and weed susceptibility. Warm, moist conditions following treatment promote the activity of Escort while cold, dry conditions may reduce or delay activity. Brush and weeds hardened off by cold weather or drought stress may not be controlled. Degree of control and duration of effect are dependent on the rate used, sensitivity and size of target species, as well as soil moisture and soil temperature.
RestrictionsRainfall: No rain-free period is specified on the label. Grazing: Cattle may graze the treated areas on the day of treatment.
Environmental PrecautionsEscort is toxic to aquatic organisms and non-target terrestrial plants. Leave a 10 metre buffer zone between sprayed area and sensitive habitats.
ToxicityLow acute mammalian toxicity. Acute oral LD50 (rats) = > 5,000 mg/kg.

Registered Tank MixesAgricultural Field Crops: All 2, 4-D + dichlorprop formulations may be recommended in tank mix with other products. Consult the label of the tank mix partner product, and follow the most stringent set of precautions, restrictions and directions for use.
Industrial Uses
Tank mix partner 2,4-D + dichlorprop plus tank mix partner Additional weeds controlled
Vanquish Turboprop: 8.4 L + Vanquish: 5.2 L/ 1000 L spray mix or Estaprop XT/Dichlorprop DX: 5.7 L +Vanquish: 6.25 L/1000 L spray mix
Improve control of aspen, poplar and white birch
Application InformationAgricultural uses: Apply with ground or by air. Water Volume: Ground 20 - 80 L/acre. Air - 12 L/acre.
Industrial UsesApply with power equipment, knapsack sprayer or by air. Note: Do not apply by air on roadsides. Water Volume: Broadleaf weeds - 80 - 220 L/acre. Brush control: 300 - 500 L/acre. When to Apply: Broadleaf weeds: Apply during the month of May or in early fall. Some species may require a second treatment. Spray weed infested areas with an even spray pattern, making sure weeds shielded by high grass are thoroughly wetted. Spray tall weeds to runoff. Brush control: Apply on foliage and stems just before or just after brush is in full leaf in late spring or early fall. Many species may require re-treatment the following year.Basal treatment (not ash or basswood): Any time of year. Frill treatment: Standing trees more than 13 - 15 cm in diameter. Stump treatment: Immediately after cutting.
Application TipsCrops under stress from adverse environmental conditions such as excess moisture, drought, disease, etc. may suffer a further setback when Dichlorprop + 2,4-D is applied; however, the crop injury that may occur is usually offset by the benefits of enhanced weed control. Apply in warm weather when the crop and weeds are growing well and the weeds are at a susceptible stage. Avoid application during drought conditions or during exceptionally hot weather.
How it WorksA systemic herbicide absorbed by leaf and stem.
Expected ResultsTwisting and curling of weeds will commence 2 - 10 days after application. Growth ceases; eventually plants turn brown and die. Poor results may be expected if poor coverage or low relative humidity during and after spraying.
RestrictionsPre-harvest Intervals: 40 days. Rainfall: Rain within 3 or 4 hours of application may reduce control. Grazing: Do not graze or cut treated crops for forage until 40 days after application. Withdraw meat animals from treated fields at least 3 days before slaughter.
Environmental Precautions2,4-D + dichlorprop formulations are moderately to highly toxic to aquatic organisms. These formulations are also toxic to small mammals, birds, aquatic organisms and non-target terrestrial plants. Observe buffer zones specified on the label.
ToxicityModerate acute mammalian toxicity. Acute oral LD50 (rats) = 2, 4-D, 300 - 1,000 mg/kg, dichlorprop = 800 mg/kg. Do not spray on foraging bees. Toxic to bees.
StorageMay be stored at any temperature. Shake well after storing for 1 year or longer.

Application InformationApply with: Ground equipment. Water Volume: 22.5 - 45 L/acre.
Mixing InstructionsUse mixing instructions “d” on page 13.
Application TipsWhen spraying under the conditions of waterlogged or saturated soils, temperature extremes such as heat or freezing weather, drought, low fertility or plant disease wheat can show unacceptable injury symptoms. Weed control may also be reduced by these same conditions.
How it WorksFlucarbazone-sodium is a systemic herbicide that is absorbed by both leaves and roots and moves rapidly to the growing point of the plant.
Expected ResultsGrowth of susceptible plants stops soon after application. Symptoms include discolouration (yellowing, reddening and purpling), and complete control may take 1 to 2 weeks.
RestrictionsRainfall: Do not apply if it is raining or if rainfall is expected within 1 hour after application. Grazing: Do not graze treated fields or use green crop for feed. Wheat grain or straw from harvested treated fields may be fed to livestock. Pre-harvest Intervals: Observe minimum interval to harvest of 80 days after treatment. Re-cropping: The following crops may be planted 11 months after an application of Everest.

Application TipsThe activity of Everest GBX combined with tank mix partner herbicides are influenced by weather conditions. Optimum activity requires active crop and weed growth. The temperature range for optimum activity is 12°C to 24°C. Reduced activity will occur when temperatures are below 8°C or above 27°C. Frost before application (3 days) or shortly after (3 days) may reduce weed control and crop tolerance. Weed control may be reduced during stress conditions or if weed populations are heavy or too far advanced.

How it Works Flucarbazone sodium is a systemic herbicide that is absorbed by both leaves and roots and moves rapidly to the growing point of the plant. Fluroxypyr moves within the plant to control exposed and underground plant tissue. It mimics naturally occurring plant hormones and controls weeds by disrupting normal plant growth patterns. Symptoms include twisting of stems and swollen nodes.
Expected ResultsFlucarbazone sodium causes growth of susceptible plants to stop soon after application. Symptoms include discolouration (yellowing, reddening and purpling), and complete control may take 1 to 2 weeks. Fluroxypyr causes broadleaf weeds to twist shortly after application. After twisting and bending, plants stop growing, turn brown and die.
RestrictionsRainfall: Do not apply if rain is expected in 1 hour. Grazing: Do not feed or graze treated fields. Wheat grain or straw from treated fields may be fed to livestock. Pre-harvest Intervals: Observe minimum interval to harvest of 80 days after treatment. Re-cropping: The following crops may be planted 11 months after application. Black soil zone: Barley, canola (all varieties), durum wheat, field bean, field pea*, flax, spring wheat. Brown soil zone: Spring wheat. Dark Brown soil zone: Barley, canola (all varieties), durum wheat, field bean, field pea*, flax, spring wheat. Gray-Wooded soil zone: Barley, canola (all varieties), field pea*, spring wheat.* Field peas can be successfully grown the year following an Everest application providing the following three criteria are all met:
1. Soil pH must be below 7.5
2. Organic Matter content must be above 4%.
3. Precipitation must be equal to or above the 10 year average (minimum 100 mm within 60 days of application in year of application). Rotational crops can be adversely affected if rainfall is below normal (10 year average) during the year of application.
Everest applications to eroded knolls in the Dark Brown and Black soil zones with low organic matter (less than 2%) and high pH (greater than 7.5) or to Gray Wooded soils with highly variable soil texture and organic matter may result in delayed development or reduced yield of rotational crop.
Environmental PrecautionsDo not allow this chemical to drift on to other crops, especially canola, tame oats, or other non target crops.
ToxicityFlucarbazone sodium has low acute mammalian toxicity. Acute oral LD50 (rats) = > 5,000 mg/kg. Fluroxypyr has low acute mammalian toxicity. Acute oral LD50 (rate) = > 2,000 mg/kg.

Do not use on highly variable soils that have large gravelly or sandy areas, eroded knolls or calcium deposits. • Express Pro/Nuance Pro applied to fields to be planted to spring wheat, durum wheat, winter wheat or barley that
are stressed by severe conditions such as drought, low fertility, saline soils, waterlogged soils (soils at or near field capacity), disease or insect damage may result in crop injury as crop injury may occur. Heavy rainfall soon after application may result in visual crop injury or possible yield reduction. Conditions such as thin crop stand, sandy soil or low soil organic matter may increase the severity of injury.
How it WorksExpress Pro/Nuance Pro rapidly stops growth of susceptible weeds. However, typical symptoms (discolouration) of dying weeds may not be noticeable for 1 to 3 weeks after application, depending on growing conditions and weed susceptibility. Degree of control and duration of effect depend on weed sensitivity, weed size, spray coverage and growing conditions. Activity of the herbicide mixture may be delayed by cold, dry conditions after application.Rainfall: Heavy rainfall immediately after application may wash the herbicide off the foliage, which may reduce the effectiveness of Express Pro/Nuance Pro. Do not apply if rain is forecast for the time of application.
RestrictionsRe-cropping: Fields treated with Express Pro/Nuance Pro may be seeded to wheat (spring, durum or winter) or spring barley a minimum of 24 hours after application.

Application InformationApply with ground equipment. Do not apply by air. Water Volume: 22.5 - 45 L/acre.
Mixing InstructionsUse mixing instructions “b” on page 13.
Application TipsEffectiveness may be reduced if spray mixture remains in the tank for more than 24 hours. Injury to pulse crops may occur on coarse-textured soils, low in organic matter (less than 3%), or in fields with variable soils, gravely areas, sandy areas or eroded knolls. Avoid planting pulse crops in soils containing more than 50% sand.
How it WorksAbsorbed by foliage and roots, inhibits cell elongation.
Expected ResultsExpress SG stops the growth of susceptible weeds immediately. However, typical symptoms (discolouration) of dying weeds may not be noticeable for 1 - 3 weeks after application, depending on growing conditions and weed susceptibility. Degree of control and duration of effect depend on weed sensitivity, weed size, spray coverage and growing conditions.
RestrictionsRainfall: If rain occurs soon after application, control may be reduced; 1 hour of dry weather is needed to allow Express SG to be absorbed by weed foliage. Pre-harvest Intervals: Do not apply within 70 days of harvest for ExpressSun® sunflowers. Re-cropping: A minimum recropping interval of 2 months should be left between the application of Express SG and seeding of the next crop. The following crops can be seeded two months after application of Express SG herbicide: canola, flax, lentils. Field treated with a post harvest application of Express in the fall can be seeded in the spring to spring wheat (incl. durum), barley, oats, field corn, canaryseed, pulse crops, canola, flax, lentils, alfalfa, red clover, alsike clover, smooth bromegrass, timothy and creeping red fescue.
Environmental PrecautionsDo not contaminate irrigation water. Toxic to aquatic organisms.
ToxicityVery low acute mammalian toxicity. Acute oral LD50 (rats) = > 5,000 mg/kg. May irritate eyes, nose, throat and skin.

Application TipsFierce is a soil-applied residual herbicide and will only control weeds emerging after the product has been activated by moisture. Any weeds present at time of applications should be controlled with a suitable tank mix partner (see Registered Tank Mixes section). DO NOT incorporate or till after an application of Fierce. Seeding after an application of Fierce should only be done with low disturbance seeding systems. Significant crop injury may occur from applications made to poorly drained soils and/or applications made under cool, wet conditions. Severe crop injury will result when soils are flooded following applications of Fierce. Treated soil that is splashed onto newly emerging crops may result in temporary injury. Moisture is necessary to activate Fierce in the soil for residual weed control. Dry weather following applications of Fierce may reduce effectiveness. However, when adequate moisture is received after dry conditions, Fierce will control susceptible germinating weeds listed on the label. Fierce may not control weeds that germinate after application but prior to an activating rainfall/irrigation or weeds that germinate through cracks resulting from dry soil.
How it WorksFlumioxazin is a Group 14 herbicide. Flumioxazin controls weeds by inhibiting protoporphyrinogen oxidase, an essential enzyme required by plants for chlorophyll biosynthesis. Seedling weeds are controlled pre-emergence, or shortly after exposure to sunlight following contact with the soil applied herbicide. Pyroxasulfone is a Group 15 herbicide. Pyroxasulfone controls weeds by inhibiting the synthesis of very long chain fatty acids. Pyroxasulfone halts growth at the apical meristem and coleoptile by reducing cell division and expansion. Weeds affected by Pyroxasulfone may not emerge or may emerge with irregular leaf margins and reduced growth. Together Flumioxazin and Pyroxasulfone target two separate systems within target species resulting in broadleaf and grass weed control superior to either active ingredient applied alone.
Expected ResultsSusceptible weeds will die before emergence or shortly after exposure to sunlight. Some species may remain green and stunted for several days prior to senescence.
RestrictionsMechanical incorporation or disturbance of the soil after application will reduce weed control. Rainfall: 1 hour. Grazing: Do not graze treated fields, or cut for livestock feed. Re-cropping: Soybean – Immediately, spring wheat – 7 days. Other crops, refer to the Fierce label or contact Nufarm Agriculture.
Environmental PrecautionsThis product is toxic to aquatic organisms, small wild mammals, certain insects and non-target terrestrial plants.
ToxicityMammalian toxicity. Acute oral LD50 (rats) = > 5,000 mg/kg.

Application InformationApply with: Ground equipment. Do not apply by air. Water Volume: Apply at 40 - 80 L/acre rate of water for FirstStep.
Mixing InstructionsFill tank to 1/3, agitate continually, add FirstStep, then glyphosate, then fill tank.
Application TipsWarm, moist growing conditions promote active weed growth and enhance the activity of FirstStep Complete. Degree of control and duration of effect depend on weed sensitivity, weed size and growing conditions. Weeds hardened off by cold weather or drought stress may show delayed symptoms and result in reduced levels of weed control. Effectiveness may be reduced if spray mixture remains in the tank for more than 24 hours.
How it WorksFirstStep is absorbed by foliage and roots, inhibits cell elongation. StartUp is a non selective systemic herbicide that move through the foliage into the roots, resulting in plant mortality.
Expected ResultsFirstStep rapidly stops growth of susceptible weeds; however, typical symptoms (discolouration) of dying weeds may not be noticeable for 1 to 3 weeks after application, depending on growing conditions and weed susceptibility. Annual weeds susceptible to StartUp will wilt and yellow with 2-4 days. Perennial weeds will wilt and yellow with 7-10 days. Rainfall: If rain occurs within 4 - 6 hour after application, control may be reduced. Movement in Soil: FirstStep moves little in the soil. Startup has negligible leaching in the soil.

Expected ResultsExtremes in environmental conditions such as temperature, moisture, soil conditions and cultural practices may affect activity. Moisture is necessary to activate the active ingredient pyroxasulfone in soil for weed control. Dry weather following applications may reduce effectiveness. Applications to crops under stress due to either inadequate or excess moisture for normal crop development, cool and hot temperatures, sodic soils, poorly drained soils, hail damage, flooding, pesticide injury, mechanical injury or widely fluctuating temperatures may result in crop injury.
RestrictionsRainfall: Excessive rainfall, irrigation or prolonged wet soil conditions after application of Focus from seed germination through seedling emergence may increase the risk of seedling injury, especially with shallow seeded crops. Grazing: Do not allow livestock to graze or feed on wheat grain, forage, hay or straw less than 42 days after application. Re-cropping: Conduct a field bioassay to confirm crop safety prior to seeding any rotational crops other than field corn, wheat (spring and winter), and soybeans.
Environmental PrecautionsDO NOT use on peat or muck soils and soils with 7% or more organic matter content.

Fall Surface Application: Where fields are prone to water and/or wind erosion and fall tillage is therefore undesirable, fall surface applications should be made after October 15 or within three weeks of soil freeze-up (average soil temperature at the 5 cm depth should be 4°C or less). Fall surface application should be made to standing stubble, chemical fallow or summerfallow fields in a state of low soil erodibility. Avoid smooth, hard-packed soil conditions in summerfallow, which may allow granules to drift. Surface applications should not be made to fields covered in snow or that have excessive crop residue, which will not allow granules contact with soil. Under excessively warm and/or wet conditions between application and crop emergence, control may be reduced. For best results under heavy wild oat infestations, use the incorporated treatments only.
IncorporationTime: The first incorporation should be completed within 24 hours of application, except for the fall surface application. The second incorporation may then be done during the fall or delayed until the spring. For surface applications: Incorporate twice at right angles in the spring. Early seeding and a delayed second incorporation of 48 hours or more will provide best results.Do not incorporate this product more than 5 cm. This can be accomplished by setting the tillage equipment to work the soil not deeper than 7.5 cm to 10 cm.Implement: Before applying this product, be sure the soil is in good working condition. All deep tillage by cultivation or double disc implements must be completed prior to application of this product.
Application TipsCalibrate equipment to deliver desired amount of product. Use only a hoe-drill or a double disc press drill to seed barley or wheat into a Fortress-treated field. Do not apply to soil with less than 2% organic matter if it is to be seeded to wheat. Do not apply Fortress for wheat on land that has been treated with trifluralin since June 1 of the previous year. Seeding: Flax, mustard and rapeseed can be seeded in treated layers. Barley and wheat are more sensitive and should be planted 6.0 - 7.5 cm. Wheat must be seeded at least 1.0 cm below the treated layer. Do not seed deeper than 7.5 cm. To ensure an even crop stand, increase the usual seeding rate of barley and wheat by 10%. Seed into warm, moist seedbed. A pre-seed burn-off herbicide treatment is required to eliminate weed competition prior to crop emergence.

How it WorksAbsorbed by wild oat shoots and foxtail roots, usually resulting in death before emergence. Under dry conditions, some wild oats and foxtail may emerge before being killed.
Expected ResultsWeeds: Wild oats and foxtail die before they emerge. Weed control may be reduced under conditions of prolonged, cool soil temperatures at the time of germination or extreme drought in spring. Crops: Thinning in barley and wheat are known to occur under conditions of heavy rainfall and/or cold weather after application and before crop emergence. In most cases, thinning is more than offset by tillering. Some thinning may be noted on eroded knolls. Poor results may be expected if there is incomplete incorporation due to wet, cloddy soil or heavy trash, very dry soil conditions in spring or prolonged cool soil temperatures at time of germination. Ridges left by seeding may disrupt the treated layer and allow escapes.
RestrictionsRainfall: Moisture is required for activation. Rainfall of at least 1.5 cm within 2 weeks of application in the spring is required to ensure maximum performance. Grazing: Grazing restrictions: Do not graze the treated crop or cut for hay; there are not sufficient data to support such use. Re-cropping: Under normal conditions, Fortress MicroActiv carryover will not harm crops grown in rotation. As a precaution, tame oats, sugar beets, creeping red fescue and small-seeded grasses such as timothy and canary seed should not be grown in rotation following a Fortress-treated crop.
Environmental PrecautionsDo not apply this product directly to aquatic habitats. Do not contaminate irrigation or drinking water supplies or aquatic habitats by cleaning of equipment or disposal of wastes.
ToxicityVery low acute mammalian toxicity. Acute oral LD50 (rats) = > 5,000 mg/kg. May cause skin and eye irritation.

Mixing InstructionsOnly use sprayers that have good agitation. Ensure the sprayer is properly cleaned prior to adding Frontline XL. Use mixing instructions “b” on page 13.
Application TipsDo not apply to crops underseeded to legumes. Apply Frontline XL/Topline early post-emergence to the main flush of broadleaf weeds. Warm, moist conditions that promote active weed growth, small weed size and competitive crop and good growing conditions after application will optimize the weed control. Weeds hardened off by cold weather or drought stress may not be adequately controlled or suppressed, and regrowth may occur. For best results, ensure adequate spray coverage of the target weeds. Only weeds that are emerged at time of application will be controlled. If the foliage of the weed is wet at the time of application, control may be reduced.
How it WorksFrontline XL/Topline herbicides contains a Group 2 and a Group 4 mode of action herbicide. The Group 2 mode of action herbicide inhibits the production of the ALS enzyme in plants. This enzyme is essential for the production of certain amino acids required for plant growth. The Group 4 mode of action herbicide disrupts normal plant growth regulation, resulting in death of susceptible plants.

Expected ResultsWeeds susceptible to Frontline XL/Topline will stop growing almost immediately. The weeds turn yellow or reddish. Symptoms such as yellowing and red colouration may not be noticeable for 1 - 2 weeks. Some twisting may also be observed on weeds sensitive to MCPA. Warm, moist conditions, small weed size and competitive crop will optimize weed control provided by Frontline XL/Topline.
RestrictionsRainfall: Heavy rainfall immediately after application may wash the chemical off the foliage, and a repeat treatment may be required. Do not apply if rainfall is forecast for the time of application. Grazing: Do not permit lactating dairy animals to graze fields within 7 days after application. Do not harvest forage or cut hay within 7 days after application. Withdraw meat animals from treated fields at least 3 days before slaughter. Pre-harvest Intervals: Do not harvest the treated crop within 60 days after application. Re-cropping: barley, canola, chickpeas, corn, field beans, flax, Juncea canola, lentils, mustard (brown, oriental and/or yellow), oats, peas, potatoes (except seed potatoes), soybeans, sunflowers, or wheat or fields can be fallowed.
Environmental PrecautionsHighly toxic to aquatic organisms and non-terrestrial plants. Observe buffer zones specified under Directions for Use on the label.
ToxicityFrontline XL/Topline are practically non-toxic to birds. Acute oral LD50 is > 2,000 mg/kg. Frontline XL/Topline are also moderately toxic to fish.

Consult label for specific broadleaf weeds controlled.
Application InformationWith: Ground equipment only. With a sprayer that can apply 40 L/acre of spray solution. Do not apply by air. Water Volume: 40 L/acre.
Mixing InstructionsOnly use sprayers that have good agitation. Ensure the sprayer is properly cleaned prior to adding Frontline 2,4-D. Use mixing instructions “b” on page 13.
Application TipsDo not apply to crops underseeded to legumes. Apply Frontline 2,4-D early post-emergence to the main flush of broadleaf weeds. Warm, moist conditions that promote active weed growth, small weed size, competitive crop and good growing conditions after application optimize weed control. Weeds hardened off by cold weather or drought stress may not be adequately controlled or suppressed, and re-growth may occur. For best results, ensure adequate spray coverage of the target weeds. Only weeds that are emerged at time of application will be controlled. If the foliage of the weed is wet at the time of application, control may be reduced.
How it WorksFlorasulam SC is taken up by leaves and stops growth of susceptible weeds rapidly via inhibition of the ALS enzyme. 2,4-D is a systemic, non-selective herbicide, which readily moves through the foliage and root system. It inhibits pigment, including chlorophyll, leading to plant death.
Expected ResultsFlorasulam A symptoms will initially appear in the upper regions of the plant. Newer leaves start to yellow and wilt, followed by a loss of green colour. Symptoms will spread to the rest of the plant with some weeds showing purpling or reddening. Under ideal conditions, complete control may occur within 7 - 10 days after application. Plants susceptible to 2,4-D will become malformed before they die.
RestrictionsRainfall: Do not apply if rainfall is expected within 2 hours. Grazing: Do not harvest as forage within 30 days after application. Do not permit lactating dairy animals to graze fields within 7 days after application. Withdraw meat animals from treated fields at least 3 days before slaughter. Pre-harvest Intervals: Do not harvest the treated mature crop within 60 days after application. Re-cropping: Fields previously treated with Frontline 2,4-D tank mix can be seeded the following year to barley, canola, oats, peas, wheat, chickpea, corn, field beans, flax, juncea canola, lentils mustard (brown, oriental and/or yellow), potato, soybean and sunflower as rotational crops or fields can be summerfallowed.
Environmental PrecautionsFrontline 2,4-D is moderately to highly toxic to aquatic organisms. Avoid contamination of aquatic systems during application. This product has potential to leach. Use a 30 m buffer between sprayed area and sensitive habitats.

Application InformationApply with ground equipment only. Avoid galvanized steel or unlined steel (except stainless steel) spray tanks. Water volume: 20 - 40 L/acre clean water.
Application TipsUnder certain stress conditions such as drought, cool temperatures or where extremely hard water (>700 ppm Ca + Mg) has been used, weed control may be reduced with this product. Under these conditions, lower water volume (20 L/acre) may improve results.
How it WorksA post-emergent herbicide. Glyphosate moves from foliage into roots and kills entire plant. Dicamba disrupts cell metabolism.
Expected ResultsVisual effects will usually appear within 5 - 7 days. Wilting or yellowing of weeds advances to complete browning of above ground growth and deterioration of affected underground parts.
RestrictionsRainfall: Heavy rainfall within 2 hours may wash the chemical off the foliage and repeat treatment may be required. Rainfall within 6 hours may reduce effectiveness. Grazing: Do not permit lactating dairy animals to graze fields within 7 days after application. Do not harvest forage or cut hay within 30 days after application. Withdraw meat animals from treated fields at least 3 days before slaughter. Re-cropping: Certain broadleaf crops such as lentils, peas, canola and flax can be injured by a preseeding application of GlyKamba and should not be planted in a field that has been treated with this product.
Environmental PrecautionsGlyKamba is toxic to aquatic organisms and non-target terrestrial plants. Avoid contamination of aquatic habitat by leaving a 15 metre buffer zone. Non-toxic to bees and birds.
ToxicityGlyphosate: Acute oral LD50 (rats) = 4,300 mg/kg; Dicamba. Acute oral LD50 (rats) = 2,600 mg/kg. Eye irritant.
StorageHeated storage is required. If crystals form, place in a warm room (20°C). Roll or shake solution until crystals have redissolved.

Quackgrass Control Prior to Seeding or after Harvest in Annual and Forage Cropping SystemsApply to actively growing quackgrass. Reduced control may result if rhizomes become dormant. This may occur when soil fertility is poor or land has not been tilled for several years.Application on forages should be followed by tillage and should be made when good growing conditions exist.
Weed stage Acid equivalent in grams active ingredient per acre
Remarks
Quackgrass control: season long control on light to moderate infestation
3 - 4 green leaves. On fall tilled ground, delay the application until majority of quackgrass has 4 - 5 leaves
360 Allow 3 or more days after treatment before tillage. Fall treatment should be applied 3 - 4 weeks after swathing to actively growing quackgrass. Do not apply after first damaging frost in the fall. Frost of - 5°C is usually tolerated by new shoots. Frost damage is evident by drying of new shoots shortly after frost.
Quackgrass control: heavy infestations or sod bound quackgrass
3 - 4 green leaves or more
360 - 1000 Use higher rate for sod bound quackgrass (left undisturbed for at least 2 years). Allow 3 or more days after treatment before tillage. Fall treatment should be applied 3 - 4 weeks after swathing to actively growing quackgrass. Do not apply after first damaging frost in the fall. Frost of - 5°C is usually tolerated by new shoots.
Canada Thistle Control: Summerfallow and Post Harvest
Weed stage Acid equivalent in grams active ingredient per acre
Remarks
Control of Canada thistle at the rosette stage (summerfallow)
Rosettes at least 15 cm in diameter
360 Conduct summerfallow tillage as usual and perform the last tillage operation between July 15 and August 1. Allow thistle to re-grow for a minimum of 5 weeks until they are 15 cm in diameter and majority of them are in a rosette stage. Allow 10 or more days after treatment before tillage. Treatment after a mild frost is possible provided leaves are green and plants are actively growing.
Control of Canada thistle: post-harvest stubble treatment
Bud stage or beyond
648 - 1000 Allow 20 to 25 cm of new growth before application. Thistles must be sprayed at least 2 weeks prior to killing frost. Straw should be removed or evenly spread to allow for proper regrowth and spray coverage. Heavy frost prior to treatment may decrease control.Allow 5 or more days after treatment before tillage.

Harvest Management BenefitsThis treatment may also provide harvest management benefits by drying down crop and vegetative crop growth. Apply only during the period 7-14 days before harvest to ensure best weed control and to maximize harvest management benefits. Earlier application may reduce crop yield and/or quality and may lead to excess glyphosate residues in the crop. Extremely cool, wet and cloudy weather conditions between time of application and the anticipated harvest date may slow down activity of this product, thereby delaying crop dry down and harvest date.
Environmental PrecautionsOver-spray or drift to important wildlife habitats such as bodies of water, wetlands (e.g., sloughs), shelterbelts, woodlots and other cover on the edges of fields frequented by wildlife, should be avoided.Ground Application: Leave a 15-metre buffer zone between the last spray swath and the edge of any of these habitats. Do not expose or contaminate any body of water or non-target vegetation by direct application, spray drift, or when cleaning and rinsing spray equipment.Aerial applications: maintain a 25 metre buffer zone from water and wetland areas, and 55 metre buffer from shelterbelts, woodlots, and other cover on the edge of treated fields.
For Use in glyphosate Tolerant Cropsglyphosate Tolerant Canola Crop: Canola variety with Roundup ready gene. Always use pedigreed (certified) canola seed. Canola which is not designated as glyphosate tolerant will be damaged or destroyed by this treatment. Note: Not all glyphosate products are registered. Crop Stage: Up to and including 6-leaf stage of glyphosate tolerant canola. Temporary yellowing may occur if applied at the 4 to 6 leaf stage of the crop. With: Ground application only.

Registered Tank Mixes for Non-crop and Industrial Areas – Residual Control
Tank mix Acid equivalent in grams active ingredient per acre
Remarks
glyphosate + Simazine
glyphosate: 360 - 1740 gm/acreSimizine: 1.61 - 3.63 L
The simazine component of this tank mixture will provide season long control of most germinating broadleaf weeds and grasses.Water volume: 80 - 160 L/acre.Do not apply to coarse, sandy or gravelly soil.One application per year.
Additional Application InformationWater Volume: Handgun (high water volume): 80 - 120 L/acre. Boom: 23 - 45 L per acre in most situations; use of the lower volume may improve control when hard water (Ca or Mg) or iron (Fe) ions are present. Chemical fallow: 20 - 40 L/acre.
Application TipsTillage or mowing prior to application will reduce effectiveness on perennial weeds. Minimum days to wait before tillage after application: annual weeds: 1 day; spring and fall quackgrass: 3 days; Canada thistle bud stage: 5 days; fall rosette stage: 7 - 10 days; field bindweed, milkweed and other perennials: 7 days. Best results are obtained when temperatures are near 20°C and when weeds are actively growing. Control will be reduced if foliage is heavily covered with dust. Hard water or water containing calcium (Ca), Magnesium (Mg) and iron (Fe) ions will reduce the activity of glyphosate. Dirty water or water with suspended soil or organic matter will reduce control.
How it WorksA non-selective, systemic herbicide that moves from the foliage into roots and kills the entire plant.
Expected ResultsWilting and yellowing of annual weed occurs within 2 - 4 days; perennial requires 7 - 10 days. Complete browning of above ground growth and deterioration of roots occurs. Cool, cloudy conditions may slow activity.Rainfall: Heavy rainfall immediately after application may wash the chemical off the foliage and a repeat treatment may be required. Do not apply if rainfall is forecast for the time of application. Note. Roundup Transorb HC, Roundup WeatherMax, Roundup Ultra 2, and R/T 540: Rainfall occurring within 60 minutes of treatment may result in reduced weed control. Movement in the Soil: Negligible leaching. Grazing Restrictions: Do not graze or harvest treated areas until plants have turned brown and started to deteriorate. Re-cropping Intervals: No restrictions.
Environmental PrecautionsAvoid direct application to any body of water populated with fish or used for domestic purposes. Leave a 15 metre buffer zone between sprayed area and sensitive habitats.
ToxicityVery low acute mammalian toxicity. Acute oral LD50 = 4,320 mg/kg. Eye irritant, non-toxic to bees, birds and fish.
StorageHeated storage is not required. May be stored below 0°C.

Not registered but supported tank mix: Valtera (56 - 85 g/acre), prior to emergence.
Application InformationHow to Apply: Apply with ground equipment only. Water volume: Minimum 40 L per acre.
Application TipsDo not apply during periods of dead calm. Do not apply with spray droplets smaller than medium classification. Keep booms lower than 60 cm from target. Weeds hardened off by cold weather, or drought stress may not be adequately controlled or suppressed and re-growth may occur. GoldWing will damage emerged crop plants, even in minute quantities. Apply GoldWing prior to the emergence of the crop, either as a pre-seed or pre-emergence application. GoldWing does not provide residual weed control. Apply when weeds are in the seedling stage and actively growing.
How it WorksGoldWing is designed for use as a contact and systemic herbicide for broadleaf weed control. Pyraflufen-ethyl, a member of the phenyl pyrazole class of herbicides, inhibits the protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO) enzyme, which results in cell membrane destruction and necrosis. MCPA ester, a member of the phenoxy class of herbicides, mimics plant growth regulators, interfering with cell enlargement and division, and development in susceptible plants.
Expected ResultsContact activity will be apparent within hours. Initially, leaves will take on a water-soaked appearance before turning necrotic; systemic symptomology will appear over time. Plants will be necrotic and may exhibit epinasty (twisting) before death. Complete plant death will occur within a few days.
RestrictionsRainfall: Rainfall within 2 hours of application may reduce control. Grazing: Do not permit lactating dairy animals to graze field within 7 days of application. Withdraw meat animals from treated fields 3 days before slaughter. Pre-harvest Intervals: Do not graze or cut treated crops for forage until 30 days after application. Re-cropping Restrictions: All crops can be seeded 30 days after an application of GoldWing.
Environmental PrecautionsRunoff: Avoid application when heavy rain is forecast or to areas with steep slopes, and/or compacted clay soils.
ToxicityGoldWing is toxic to aquatic organisms and certain beneficial insects. Observe buffer zones listed in the GoldWing label, and minimize spray drift. Pyraflufen-ethyl: Acute oral LD50 (rats) > 5,000 mg/kg. MCPA: Acute oral50 (rats) = 700 mg/kg.
StorageStorage below 0°C will not impair the effectiveness of GoldWing; however, if frozen, return to original state by allowing product to warm to 10 to 20°C, and agitate thoroughly before use.

Application TipsUse only clean water to avoid reduction in effectiveness. Use high volume, low pressure type spraying equipment to thoroughly cover foliage. Special equipment is necessary to shield some row crops from spray. Applications on cloudy days or just prior to or during periods of darkness will generally increase the treatment effectiveness. Wash equipment thoroughly after spraying - use a wetting agent (Agral 90 at 60 mL/100 L of water).
How it WorksGramoxone is a contact type herbicide; therefore, good spray coverage is essential. It is absorbed by all leaf and stem surfaces and is non-systemic. It interferes with photosynthesis.
Expected ResultsProvides immediate, fast and virtually complete annual weed kill from 1 application. Repeat applications may be necessary for perennial weeds. Yellowing occurs within a few hours and desiccation of the plant continues rapidly until death.
RestrictionsRainfall: Rain within 30 minutes and prior to spray solution drying on plant will reduce effectiveness of the chemical. Once spray solution has dried on plant tissue, rain will not reduce effectiveness. Grazing: Pre-seed burndown in cereals, oilseed and pulse crops: Do not graze or harvest crops within 30 days of treatment. Re-cropping: No restriction.
Environmental PrecautionsThis product is toxic to aquatic organisms and terrestrial plants. Observe label buffer zones around aquatic areas and susceptible terrestrial areas.
ToxicityModerate acute oral LD50 (rats) = 612 mg/kg body weight.Caution: Symptoms of acute poisoning may occur. Intake can cause heart, liver and kidney damage and can be fatal. It can be absorbed through the skin.
StorageHeated storage required. If crystallization occurs because of storage below 0°C, warm to room temperature and agitate until reconstituted.

Registered Tank MixesNone registered.
Application InformationApply with ground sprayers or by aircraft using a drift control system. Water volume: Ground: 80 L/acre for optimum results. Air: Minimum 8.1 L/acre. For Grazon XC use with tree and wood species or dense foliage, best coverage is obtained at 20 L/acre in aerial use.
Application TipsApply in spring or early summer after weeds have fully emerged and when weeds are growing rapidly. Ensure that there is adequate coverage of target weeds. Broadleaf crops are extremely sensitive to Grazon XC, and care should be taken to prevent drift onto sensitive crops. Use appropriate drift control measures to prevent Grazon XC from affecting sensitive, non-target vegetation. Do not apply on soils that are very permeable (sandy loam to sand) to prevent Grazon XC from affecting sensitive, non-target vegetation through the entire profile and that have an underlying shallow aquifer.
How it WorksInterferes with cell division, causing leaf cupping, stem distortion and eventual death of plant. Grazon is absorbed through leaves and roots.
Expected ResultsPerennial weeds show distorted stems and cupped leaves, which turn yellow and then brown. Usually native grass increases in abundance as a result of reduced competition. Poor results may be expected if weeds are not actively growing in late summer or due to drought or frost. Apply up to 2.5 L/acre of Grazon XC to control deciduous trees and wood species listed with high water volumes when foliage is fully developed and actively growing. Maximum one application per year. For faster burndown of coniferous species, use a recommended surfactant with Grazon XC at 0.25% or up to 0.375% v/v for maximum rainfastness. Add surfactant after herbicide is mixed.
RestrictionsRe-entry: For non-crop uses, do not re-enter pastures within 3 days of application. For non-crop uses, do not enter treated area during the restricted entry interval of 12 hours or until sprays have dried. Hay cut from treated area should not be used for compost or mulch, and manure from animals fed treated forage will affect sensitive plants. Rainfall: Heavy rainfall immediately after application may wash the chemical off the foliage, resulting in reduced weed control. Do not apply if rainfall is forecast for the time of application. Grazing: Do not allow lactating dairy animals to graze the treated areas within 7 days after application. Withdraw meat animals from treated fields at least 3 days before slaughter. Feed livestock untreated forage for 7 days prior to moving onto land that produce broadleaf crops. Pre-harvest Intervals: Do not harvest forage or cut hay within 30 days after application. Re-cropping: Legumes may not be established in a pasture for several years after a Grazon treatment. If legumes are essential in a pasture, do not use Grazon. Do not break up treated pasture and plant to sensitive broadleaf crops for at least 5 years after application of Grazon. Do not move cut forage or manure from treated areas to areas that may be seeded to a sensitive crop.
Environmental PrecautionsGrazon products are slightly toxic to aquatic organisms, including fish. Grazon products are highly mobile in the soil and water.
ToxicityModerate acute mammalian toxicity. Acute oral LD50 (rats) = 2,598 mg/kg.
StorageStore in a cool, dry place. Do not freeze. If freezing occurs, bring to room temperature and mix thoroughly.

Hat Trick (cont’d)
RestrictionsRe-cropping: Fields previously treated with Hat Trick can be seeded to wheat, barley, oats and rye (not underseeded to forage legumes, clover or alfalfa), canola, flax or can be summer-fallowed. Seed only those crops listed above in the year following treatment. Re-entry: Do not enter treated fields for 12 hours after treatment. Rainfall: Avoid application when heavy rain is forecast. Grazing: Do not permit any grazing within 7 days after application. Do not harvest forage or cut hay within 7 days after application. Withdraw meat animals from treated fields at least 3 days before slaughter. Do not harvest the treated crop within 60 days after application.
Environmental PrecautionsAvoid contamination of aquatic systems during application. Toxic to aquatic organisms and non-target terrestrial plants. Observe buffer zones specified on label. Runoff: To reduce runoff from treated areas into aquatic habitats, avoid application to areas with a moderate to steep slope, compacted soil, or clay. Leaching: This product demonstrates the properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in groundwater. The use of Hat Trick in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow, may result in groundwater contamination.
ToxicityOral LD50 (rats) = > 2,000 mg/kg. Dermal LD50 (rats) = > 2,000 mg/kg.

1 Pre-harvest drydown. * Rapid burndown when tank mixed with glyphosate.
** Applications at the 28.4 g/acre rate or 59 mL/acre of the LQ formulation will also provide suppression of the emergence of these weeds.
Registered Tank MixesHeat should always be tank mixed with glyphosate 0.5 - 1 L/acre of 360 g/l equivalent for pre-seed or pre-emergence. For desiccation purposes, Heat can be used by itself or with up to 1 L/acre of 360 g/L equivalent. Merge (200ml/acre) is always required regardless of the glyphosate formulation used. It is recommended to use 400 mL/acre of Merge when Heat is used on its own as a harvest aid.
Application InformationHow to Apply: Pre-seed/ Pre-emerge and chemfallow applications: Ground Equipment only. Water Volume: 20 - 40 L/acre. Use higher water volume (40 L/acre) when for dense weed stands or larger weeds. Pre-harvest: Harvest Aid/ Desiccation applications: Ground or Aerial application. Water Volume: Ground Application: 80 L/acre alone, 40 L/acre with glyphosate tank mix. Aerial Application: 20 L/acre.
Application TipsGood growing conditions promote weed growth and enhance the activity of Heat WG. Weeds hardened off by cold weather or drought stress may not be controlled. Insufficient water volumes or coarse sprays may also reduce control levels. For desiccation purposes, apply Heat when dry bean or soybean stems are green to brown, 80 - 90% of leaves have dropped and pods are mature. In lentil, apply when bottom 15% of pods are dry and rattle. In field pea, apply when the majority of pods are brown(70 - 80%). For canola and mustard, apply when 60 - 75% of seed has changed colour. In flax, when 75% of bolls have changed colour. Note: Using glyphosate with Heat for desiccation purposes may affect seed germination.
How it WorksHeat is rapidly absorbed by root and foliar uptake: once absorbed, it exhibits mobility in plants. Heat is a potent inhibitor of protoporhyrinogen oxidase (PPO). Cell membrane damage induced by inhibition of PPO leads to plant death. Susceptible weeds develop injury symptoms within hours of application under active growing conditions; plant death occurs within 3 to 5 days depending on growing conditions.
RestrictionsRainfall: Follow the glyphosate manufacturers recommendation for rainfast. Grazing: Field corn (60 days), legume forage (chickpea, lentil, field pea, soybean) (60 days), small grains (wheat,barley, oats) 30 days. Pre-harvest Intervals (at seeding): Leave 60 days between application and harvest. Desiccation Pre-harvest Interval: Dry, common beans – 2 days, canola, field pea, lentil, soybean – 3 days, sunflower – 7 days. Re-cropping (Plant back): Registered crops may be reseeded if necessary in the event of crop failure. Lentil and soybean may be reseeded only if the 10.4 g/acre rate was applied. Canola, dry beans, flax and mustard may be seeded the following year in addition to all registered crops without rate restrictions. Re-cropping after Pre-Harvest: Barley, canary seed, canola (all types), chickpeas, corn (field and sweet), flax, lentils, mustard, oats, field pea, soybeans, and wheat (spring, winter, and durum) can all be seeded the spring after application.
ToxicityVery low acute mammalian toxicity. Acute oral LD50 (rats) = > 2,000 mg/kg
StorageStore in cool, dry place. Do not freeze. If frozen, thaw completely and shake well before use.

Application informationWith: Apply with ground sprayers or by aircraft using a drift control system. Water Volume: Ground: 20 - 40 L/acre. Air: 12 L/acre.
Mixing InstructionsUse mixing instructions “c” on page 13.
Application TipsWeed control following application of clodinafop-propargyl alone or in combination with broadleaf weed herbicides can be reduced or delayed under stress conditions such as drought, heat, insufficient fertility, flooding or prolonged cool temperatures. Application under stress conditions is not recommended as it can damage the crop and weed regrowth can occur.
How it WorksClodinafop-propargyl is absorbed by the leaves and is rapidly translocated to the growing points of leaves and stems. Thorough coverage of the plants is essential for consistent control.
Expected resultsActively growing susceptible grasses stop growing within 48 hours of treatment. Depending on species, growing conditions and crop competition, leaves and growing points turn yellow within one to three weeks after application. Further colour changes and complete control are achieved three to five weeks after application.
RestrictionsRainfall: Rainfall within 30 minutes may reduce control. Grazing: Do not graze or harvest treated crops for forage within 3 days of application. Pre-harvest Intervals: Leave at least 60 days from application to harvest. Re-cropping: No restrictions.
Environmental PrecautionsThe active ingredient, clodinafop-propargyl, is highly toxic to fish. Do not apply codinafop-propargyl based products directly to freshwater habitats.
ToxicityPractically non-toxic to mammals. Acute oral LD50 (rats) = > 5,000 mg/kg.
StorageHeated storage not required. If stored for one year or longer, shake well before using.

Application InformationDo not apply by air.With: Apply with power sprayer, handguns, backpack sprayer. Watering can may be used to treat small areas. Water Volume: Fixed boom sprayer: 100 - 1,000 L/acre. Use enough water to uniformly cover the area to be treated. Handgun: 646 L/acre.
Application TipsIf dense growth is present, results will be improved if vegetation is removed before treatment. Do not apply closer than 1.5 times the height of nearby trees. Roots from large trees may extend well beyond the height of the tree and may extend beneath areas to be treated. Be cautious where trees are in close proximity to the treatment site. Do not apply to brush standing in water, lawns, walks, driveways, tennis courts or similar areas. Applying, draining or flushing equipment too near feeding roots of susceptible vegetation may cause injury. Thoroughly clean all traces of Hyvar from application equipment immediately after use.
How it WorksBromacil is readily absorbed through the roots but much less readily through the leaves. Once in the plant, it inhibits photosynthesis.
Expected ResultsSusceptible plants become chlorotic and then die. Effects are slow to appear and may not become apparent until the chemical has been carried into the root zone of the weeds by moisture. The degree of control and duration of effect will vary with the amount of chemical applied, soil type, rainfall and other conditions.
RestrictionsRainfall: Rainfall required to carry the chemical into the root zone where it is absorbed.
Environmental PrecautionsBromacil is slightly toxic to aquatic organisms, including fish. Bromacil leaches; avoid use on permeable soils.

Inferno Duo can be applied up to one week prior to planting, or immediately after planting prior to crop emergence in spring wheat (excluding durum wheat).
How it WorksFlucarbazone sodium is a systemic herbicide that is absorbed by both leaves and roots and moves rapidly to the growing point of the plant. Glyphosate is a non-selective, systemic herbicide that is absorbed through the foliage and moves through the foliage and the roots, resulting in plant mortality.

Expected ResultsGrowth of susceptible weeds stops soon after application of Inferno Duo. Symptoms of Inferno Duo include discolouration (yellowing, reddening, and purpling), with complete control taking up to 1-2 weeks. Annual weeds susceptible to glyphosate will wilt and yellow with 2-4 days. Perennial weeds will wilt and yellow within 7-10 days.
RestrictionsRainfall: Do not apply if rainfall is expected within 1 hour of application. Grazing: Do not graze treated fields or use green crop for feed. Pre-harvest Intervals: 80 days.Re-cropping: The following crops may be planted 11 months after an application of Inferno Duo.Black Soil Zone: Barley, canola (all varieties), durum wheat, field beans, field peas*, flax, spring wheatBrown Soil Zone: Spring wheatDark Brown Soil Zone: Barley, canola (all varieties), durum wheat, field peas*, flax, spring wheatGray Wooded Soil Zone: Barley, canola (all varieties), field peas*, spring wheat* Field peas can be successfully grown the year following an Inferno Duo application providing the following three criteria are all met:1. Soil pH must be below 7.5.2. Organic matter content must be above 4%.3. Precipitation must be equal to or above the 10-year average (minimum 100 mm within 60 days of application in
year of application).
Rotational crops can be adversely affected if rainfall is below normal (10-year average) during the year of application. Use certified seed and good agronomic practices to reduce the effect on rotational crops.Inferno Duo is degraded by soil microbes; environmental conditions that decrease microbial activity must be considered when making rotational cropping decisions. These environmental conditions include prolonged drought and/or cold temperatures within the following cropping season, as well as soils with both low organic matter (less than 2%) and high pH (greater than 7.5). If these conditions exist, a soil bioassay may be necessary to ensure rotational crop safety.
ToxicityInferno Duo has a very low acute mammalian toxicity. Inferno Duo has an acute oral LD50 (rats) > 5,000 mg/kg. It is non-toxic to bees, birds and fish.
StorageDoes not require heated storage. Store in cool, dry place.

Application TipsUnder cool and/or dry conditions, activity may be reduced or delayed. Weed control may also be reduced if application is made when weeds are dust covered or in the presence of heavy dew, fog or mist/rain. If crop is under stress due to abnormal environmental conditions, delay application until stress passes and after both crop and weeds have resumed active growth. Apply only once per season.
How it WorksPyrasulfotole is absorbed through leaves and is translocated to meristematic regions where it inhibits the HPPD enzyme. Pyrasulfotole inhibits plant pigment biosynthesis and photosynthesis.
Expected ResultsSmall burnt spots on the broadleaf weeds can appear in hours. Lack of plant pigments shuts down the photosynthetic pathway, resulting in bleaching symptoms and rapid death, normally in 6 - 14 days.
RestrictionsRainfall: Rainfall within 1 hour of application may reduce effectiveness. Grazing: DO NOT graze treated perennial ryegrass, red fescue or bromegrass crops within 7 days of application or harvest for hay within 30 days of application. DO NOT graze other treated crops or cut for forage or hay within 25 days of application. Pre-harvest Intervals: Do not harvest wheat or triticale for grain or straw within 50 days of application. Do not harvest barley for grain or straw within 45 days of application. Re-entry: Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas until 24 hours after application. Re-cropping: Alfalfa, barley, canary seed, canola, flax, (including low linolenic acid varieties) field peas*, tame oats, spring wheat including durum, potatoes and sunflowers may be planted 10 months after application. Lentils can be grown 22 months after application.* Field peas may be grown the year following Infinity application in all Black, Gray-Wooded and Dark Brown soil zones. Do not plant field peas the year following Infinity application in the Brown soil zone where organic matter content is less than 2.5% and soil pH is above 7.5. Use a field bioassay for crops not listed above.
Environmental PrecautionsInfinity contains distillates that are toxic to aquatic organisms and non-target terrestrial plants. Avoid contamination of aquatic systems during applications. This product moves in water and is a possible leaching problem in coarse soils or where the water table is shallow.
ToxicityPyrasulfotole is practically non-toxic to wild mammals, birds, fish and aquatic invertebrates, earthworms and bees and does not negatively affect soil microorganisms. Infinity is toxic to aquatic plants and non-target terrestrial plants.
StorageDo not store at temperatures below -20°C. If stored for one year or longer, shake well before using.

Application InformationDo not apply by air. Ground: minimum 19 L/acre. Higher volumes should be used under dense crop and weed canopies to ensure thorough coverage of target weeds.
Application TipsAdding ingredients in the correct order is critical for optimum performance. Check label of both products to be mixed for directions. General guidelines can be found on page 14. Use “Method A” for sprayer cleanup on page 15.
How it WorksPyrasulfotole is absorbed through leaves and is translocated to meristematic regions where it inhibits the HPPD enzyme. Pyrasulfotole inhibits plant pigment biosynthesis and photosynthesis. Fluroxypyr is also absorbed by the leaves, and it mimics naturally occurring plant hormones and controls weeds by disrupting normal plant growth patterns. Symptoms include twisting of stems and swollen nodes. Bromoxynil inhibits respiration and photosynthesis causing death.
Expected Results For best results, apply to emerged, young, actively growing weeds according to the weed stages listed. Under stressed conditions and/or heavy crop canopy, early application will result in improved weed control. Weeds growing under adverse environmental conditions such as drought will be less susceptible to herbicide effects.

Application InformationDiuron or Karmex DF may be applied with ground sprayer, backpack sprayer or watering can. Water Volume: Use sufficient water (100 - 160 L per acre) to provide thorough and uniform coverage.
Application TipsNon-crop Areas: Do not use on sand, loam sand or gravelly soils with less than 1% organic matter. Do not apply to slopes as soil erosion may occur. Irrigation and Drainage Ditches: To minimize movement of Karmex XP/Diuron with irrigation water and avoid crop injury, it is essential that the herbicides be fixed in the treated soil by moisture. Apply before expected seasonal rainfall, if possible when soil in the ditch is still moist. If rainfall has not totaled at least 10 cm following treatment and before intended use of irrigation ditch, fill with water and allow to stand for 72 hours; drain off waste and remaining water before using ditch.
How it WorksDiuron is readily absorbed through the root system and less readily absorbed through stem and foliage.
Expected ResultsSusceptible plants become chlorotic soon after treatment and then die. Degree of control and duration of effect will vary with the amount of chemical applied, soil type, rainfall and other conditions. Regrowth of plantain, thistle, or wild carrot will indicate that retreatment is necessary. Poor control may be expected if inadequate rate or weeds too old or insufficient rainfall.
RestrictionsRainfall: Rainfall needed to activate the chemical, carrying it into the root zone. Grazing: Do not graze the treated crops or cut for hay; sufficient data are not available to support such use. Re-cropping: Do not replant treated areas to any crop within 2 years after last treatment as injury to subsequent crops may result.
Environmental PrecautionsDiuron is toxic to aquatic organisms. Do not apply directly to aquatic habitats, irrigation or drinking water supplies Use a 15 m buffer between sprayed area and sensitive habitats.
ToxicityVery low acute mammalian toxicity. Acute oral LD50 (rats) = 3,400 mg/kg. Non-toxic to birds and fish.

Registered Tank Mixesglyphosate.
Application Information Apply with ground equipment only. Water volume: Minimum 40 L per acre.
Application TipsWeeds hardened off by cold weather or drought stress may not be controlled. Insufficient water volumes or coarse sprays may also reduce control levels.
How it WorksSpike is absorbed by foliage and roots and inhibits cell elongation. 2,4-D is a systemic, non-selective herbicide readily absorbed through leaves or roots. It is translocated primarily in phloem with the sugars but can also move with water in the xylem. Accumulation is primarily in the young, rapidly growing meristematic regions of roots or shoots. It inhibits pigments, including chlorophyll, leading to death.
Expected ResultsSpike rapidly stops growth of susceptible weeds; however, typical symptoms (discolouration) of dying weeds may not be noticeable for 1 to 3 weeks after application, depending on growing conditions and weed susceptibility. Symptoms appear very rapidly (a few hours under bright conditions). Leaves of weeds take on a water-soaked appearance, followed by wilting and necrosis. Susceptible plants become malformed before they die. Complete death occurs within a few days.
RestrictionsRainfall: If rain occurs within 4 - 6 hours after application, control may be reduced. Grazing: Do not permit lactating dairy animals to graze fields within 7 days after application. Do not harvest or cut treated crops for forage until 30 days after application. Withdraw meat animals from treated fields at least 3 days before slaughter. Re-cropping: No restrictions the year after treatment.
Environmental PrecautionsToxic to small mammals, birds, aquatic organisms and non-target terrestrial plants. This product can move in water where soils are permeable.
ToxicitySpike has an acute oral LD50 (rats) = > 5,000 mg/kg. Non-toxic to bees, birds and fish.2,4-D 700 ester: Moderate acute mammalian toxicity. Acute oral LD50 (rats) = technical 300 - 1,200 mg/kg. 2,4-D formulations are toxic to small mammals, birds, aquatic organisms and non-target terrestrial plants.

Application InformationHow to Apply: Ground application only. Water volume: 20 to 40 L per acre.
Application Tips Korrex II, alone or in tank mix with glyphosate herbicides, controls weeds prior to seeding spring wheat (including durum), spring barley, winter wheat and oats. Korrex II can be applied in the fall or spring prior to planting, or as an initial treatment in summerfallow. Korrex II must be applied early post-emergence to the main flush of actively growing broadleaf weeds. Warm, moist growing conditions promote active weed growth and enhance the activity of Korrex II by allowing maximum foliar uptake and contact activity. Weeds hardened off by cold weather or drought stress may not be adequately controlled or suppressed, and re-growth may occur. For best results, ensure thorough spray coverage of target weeds. Reduced control may also occur when applied to weeds heavily covered in dust. Fall stubble: Korrex II can be applied until late October, but active weed growth must be present.

How it WorksPre-seed herbicide. Korrex II A is absorbed through leaves and stops growth of susceptible weeds rapidly via inhibition of the ALS enzyme. Korrex II B is absorbed through roots and leaves and translocated through the phloem and xylem, disrupting plant metabolism.
Expected ResultsWeeds susceptible to Korrex II A will stop growing almost immediately. Newer leaves start to yellow and wilt, followed by a loss of green colour. Symptoms will spread to the rest of the plant with some weeds showing purpling or reddening. Under good growing conditions, complete control may occur within 7 - 10 days after application. Weeds susceptible to Korrex II B will exhibit proliferation of tissues in plant causing twisting and bending of stem and leaf petioles, cupping of leaves, increased size of root and increase in fibrous roots. Results may take 10 - 14 days to appear.
RestrictionsRainfast: 30 minutes. Grazing: Livestock may be grazed on treated crops 7 days following application of Korrex. Do not harvest the treated crop within 60 days of application. Withdraw meat animals from treated field at least 30 days before slaughter. Re-cropping: The year following Korrex application, fields can be seeded to barley, mustard, canola, chickpeas, field beans, flax, lentils, peas, soybeans, sunflower, wheat, corn, oats and potatoes or summerfallowed.
Environmental PrecautionsA buffer zone of 30 metres is required between sprayed area and sensitive habitat.
ToxicityLow acute mammalian toxicity. The oral LD50 for rats is 2,629 mg/kg. Exposure may cause skin irritation and dermal sensitization.
StorageStore in original containers in secure, dry storage area. Do not allow contamination of seeds, plants, fertilizers or other pesticides.

Weeds controlled by Telar
Application InformationWith: Boom spray, handgun, backpack or sprinkling can. Do not apply by air. Water Volume: Minimum of 20 L/ kg of Krovar 1. Use enough water to uniformly cover area to be treated.
Application TipsDuring spraying, Krovar 1 must be kept in suspension at all times by continuous agitation. Sufficient moisture from rainfall or artificial means is necessary after treatment to carry the chemical into the root zone of the weeds. If dense growth is present, results will be improved if vegetation is removed before treatment. Do not apply when ground is frozen. Do not treat ditches, wellheads, bridge approaches. Do not treat sites that are adjacent to and surrounding water supply reservoirs, supply streams, lakes and ponds.
How it WorksKrovar 1 is readily absorbed through the roots, leaves and stems.
Expected ResultsPlants become chlorotic and then die. The degree of control and duration of effect will vary with the amount of chemical applied, soil type, rainfall and other factors. Poor results occur if weeds are too mature or if insufficient rainfall.

Application InformationApply with ground equipment or aircraft for Liberty 150 SN. Water Volume: Ground Application: Minimum of 45 L/acre of water. Air: Minimum of 22 L/acre of water.
Application TipsFor best results, apply to emerged, young actively growing weeds. Weeds that emerge after application will not be controlled. When a rate range is given, the higher rate should be used: (1) when weed or crop growth is dense, (2) when the weeds are large and/or mature - i.e. advanced leaf stages and plant height, and (3) when environmental conditions are cool and dry.
How it WorksLiberty works primarily as a contact herbicide. Thorough coverage of the weeds to be controlled is essential. Absorbed by all leaf and stem surfaces. It interferes with plants’ ability to detoxify ammonia. The speed of action of Liberty is influenced by environmental factors. At cool temperatures (below 10°C), poor moisture and low humidity, speed of action may be reduced.
Expected ResultsGenerally, visual symptoms appear 2 - 4 days after application.
Restrictions Rainfall: If rainfall occurs within 4 hours of application, effectiveness may be reduced. Grazing: Do not graze the treated crop or cut for hay; sufficient data are not available to support such use. Re-entry: Do not re-enter treated areas for 24 hours after application without protective clothing as for spraying. Re-cropping: There are no cropping restrictions for field corn, canola, soybeans, dry common beans (not grown for seed), alfalfa and potato. 70 days for buckwheat, barley, millet, oats, rye, sorghum, triticale and wheat. 120 days for all other crops.
Environmental PrecautionsHighly toxic to aquatic organisms and non-target terrestrial plants. Do not contaminate surface or ground water. Use a 15 m buffer, with ground spraying, between the treated area and sensitive habitat.
ToxicityAcute oral LD50 (rats) = 2,000 mg/kg.
StorageDo not store below freezing. If stored for one year or longer, shake well before using.

Control of Canada thistleFor in crop control of top growth of Canada thistle, apply Lontrel 360 at the rate of 170 mL/acre or Lontrel XC at a rate of 101 mL/acre or Pyralid at 204 mL/acre. This will suppress top growth of Canada thistle for 6 to 8 weeks. Some re-growth may occur by the end of the season but this will not interfere with the harvesting of the crop.For season long control of top growth of Canada thistle, apply Lontrel 360 at the rate of 227 mL/acre or Lontrel XC at 138 mL/acre. This rate will generally provide season long control of Canada thistle. Not all rhizomes will be killed and some re-growth may occur by the end of the growing season.For season long control of top growth, with a reduction of Canada thistle population in the following year, apply Lontrel 360 at the rate of 336 mL/acre or Lontrel XC at 202 mL/acre. This rate will provide season long control of Canada thistle and suppression into the following season, resulting in a reduction of the total number of Canada thistle shoots in the treated area.

Application TipsDo not use products containing 2,4-D on oats due to probability of crop injury. Rates of MCPA ester of 170 g active ingredients/acre or higher or MCPA amine of 200 g active ingredient/acre may cause some delay in maturity of flax, resulting in yield reduction. Make sure the sprayer tank has been thoroughly cleaned before Lontrel/Pyralid is mixed. Treat crops during warm weather when weeds are actively growing. Best results are obtained when Canada thistle is actively growing and soil moisture is adequate for rapid growth. Under cool or dry conditions, control of Canada thistle may be severely reduced. Sow thistle plants emerging after spraying will not be controlled. Where contact herbicides are used, such as bromoxynil, that damage the leaves of the Canada thistle, apply Lontrel/Pyralid 14 days prior or after an interval of 14 days, which allows Canada thistle to recover and resume growth.Forage grasses: For control of the weeds listed on the label plus alsike clover, apply Lontrel/Pyralid at the rate of 170 - 336 mL/acre (101 - 202 mL/acre XC formulation) in 45 - 90 L/acre of water. Make one application per season by ground sprayer. For seedling grasses, apply at the 3 leaf stage and beyond. For established grasses, apply in the fall after harvest or early spring.
How it WorksClopyralid is a systemic, hormone-type herbicide. It is absorbed by leaf and stem surfaces and is readily translocated. Maximum efficacy results from foliar application to young actively growing plants.
Expected ResultsHerbicide symptoms on affected plants include swollen growing points and roots, cupping of leaves, twisted and distorted stems and leaves. Plants will gradually stop growing and change colour, first to dark green and then to yellow before turning brown as they die. Maximum effectiveness results from foliar applications to young actively growing plants. Death of weeds may not occur until 14 - 21 days after application. With the lowest rate of Lontrel on Canada thistle, some regrowth may occur by the end of the season, but this will not interfere with harvesting of the crop.
RestrictionsRainfall: A rain-free period of 4 - 6 hours after application is required. Grazing: There are no restrictions on the grazing of crops or forages treated with Lontrel/Pyralid. If necessary, treated areas may be grazed immediately following application. Pre-harvest Intervals: Sugar beets - Do not apply within 90 days of harvest. Strawberry - P.H.I. = 200 days. Re-cropping: Fields treated with Lontrel can be seeded to barley, canola, forage grasses, flax, mustard, oats, rye, wheat or summerfallowed. Do not seed to crops other than those listed above for at least one year after treatment.Use of straw and manure from treated crops: Lontrel/Pyralid residues in straw may be harmful to susceptible plants. Do not use straw from treated crops for composting or mulching on susceptible broadleaf crops. Manure can be spread on fields that will be seeded to barley, flax, oats, canola (rapeseed), rye or wheat. Do not grow susceptible crops such as peas, beans, lentils, potatoes, sunflowers or other sensitive crops on land that has been mulched with straw containing Lontrel/Pyralid residues within the last 12 months.
Environmental PrecautionsSmall amounts of drift may damage sensitive plants such as legumes.
ToxicityCloypralid is practically non-toxic to aquatic organisms, including fish on an acute basis. Cloypralid has a very low acute mammalian toxicity. Acute oral LC50 (rats) = > 2,000 mg/kg. It is practically non-toxic to bees.
StorageStore in heated storage away from open flames or sparks. If frozen, warm slowly to room temperature and mix thoroughly before use.

Application TipsDo not use on sandy or coarse-textured soils, low in organic matter, as crop injury may result. Do not use when crops are under drought stress. Fruit trees: avoid contact with fruit, foliage and green bark with spray or drift as injury may result.
How it WorksA systemic herbicide absorbed by leaves and roots. Yellowing (chlorosis), stunting and finally death occurs 10 - 14 days after treatment.
Expected ResultsWeeds: Yellowing starts 7 - 10 days after application. Effect greatest under excellent growing conditions. Weed control will vary depending on species, time of application and growing conditions. Crop: A slight yellowing of crop, leaf tip and leaf margin burn may be seen 7 - 10 days after application. Crop recovers within 14 - 18 days. Crop injury can occur if applied during period of high heat.
RestrictionsRainfall: Heavy rainfall within 2 hours may decrease activity. Pre-emergent treatment requires rainfall or irrigation for activation. Carrots, corn or potatoes may be severely injured if unusually heavy rains follow application. Grazing: Do not graze or cut for hay; there are not sufficient data available to support such use. Re-cropping: Do not apply post-emergent corn treatment within 60 days of harvest. 25% carryover into next growing season if rates are 1.8 L/acre or higher
Environmental PrecautionsLinuron is toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates. Do not apply directly to water or to areas where surface water is present.
ToxicityLow acute toxicity. Acute oral LD50 (rats) = 3,600 mg/kg. Very toxic to fish. Non-toxic to bees.
StorageLorox L/Linuron: Store in a heated area. Do not freeze as settling may occur. If frozen, thoroughly mix to resuspend.

Application InformationWater Volume: Ground: 20 to 40 L per acre. Use higher water volumes for dense canopies. Aerial: Minimum 11.3 L per acre. Aerial: do not apply by air. DO NOT apply to crops or weeds that are stressed (frost, low fertility, drought or flooding, disease or insect damage) as crop injury or reduced weed control may result. Under drought conditions, DO NOT apply to spring or durum wheat if the time from seeding to spraying exceeds 35 days or if temperatures will be 3°C or lower within 3 days of application (before or after). Tribenuron (Luxxur A) can cause severe injury to sensitive crops at very low concentrations. Sprayers used to spray tribenuron should be flushed out immediately after use. Refer to “Method A” in the Sprayer Clean-out section on pages 15 to 16.
How it WorksThiencarbazone-methyl: Uptake is primarily via foliage and is transported to areas on new shoot growth where it inhibits the enzyme acetolactate synthase (ALS). Inhibition of this enzyme prevents protein production, which leads to gradual death of target weeds. Tribenuron methyl is absorbed by foliage and roots, inhibiting cell elongation.
RestrictionsRainfall: Within 4 to 6 hours of application may reduce control. Re-entry: DO NOT re-enter treated fields for 12 hours. Pre-harvest Intervals: DO NOT harvest grain or straw within 60 days of application for spring and durum wheat or within 72 days of application to winter wheat.

Table of Contents
Application TipsBest weed control occurs when daytime temperatures are above 21°C and nighttime temperatures are at 10°C. Do not spray when air temperature is above 27°C. Extremely hard water may reduce performance. When applying to flax under hot and humid conditions, some crop injury and delay in maturity may result. Spraying in the evening and/or increased volumes of water (40 or more litres per acre) may reduce the risk of flax injury.
How it WorksA systemic, absorbed by leaf and stem surfaces and translocated to the actively growing regions. MCPA disrupts cell division, causing abnormal growth response, thereby affecting respiration and food reserves.
Expected ResultsWeeds start to twist between 2 - 20 days after spraying, depending on weather conditions, formulation and nature of weeds. Following the twisting and bending, plants will turn brown, and then die. Only emerged weeds will be controlled.
RestrictionsEffect of Rainfall: Rain within 6 hrs of MCPA Na salt, or MCPA K-salt, 4 hrs of MCPA amine, and 2 hrs of MCPA ester application will decrease weed control. Grazing: Do not graze or cut for green feed until 7 days after spraying. Re-cropping: No restrictions the year after application.
Environmental PrecautionsMCPA is toxic to aquatic organisms and non-target terrestrial plants and can readily leach in the soil.
ToxicityModerate acute mammalian toxicity.
StorageIf frozen, warm to 5°C and mix well before using.

Application InformationWith: Ground equipment only. Do not apply by air. Water Volume: Cereals: 80 - 120 L/acre.
Application TipsRecommended water volume is essential for optimum weed control. Cold weather and drought may cause a delay in weed control action.
How it WorksA systemic that disrupts the plant’s translocation system causing the accumulation of plant food in the shoots and subsequent starvation of the roots.
Expected ResultsWeeds: Leaf curling and stem twisting should be visible within 4 - 5 days after spraying. Weeds should be dead within 3 - 4 weeks of application. Crop: Deformed heads, missing florets and twisted awns could result if recommendations are not followed or if crop is under stress conditions.
RestrictionsRainfall: Rain within 4 - 6 hours will reduce effectiveness. Grazing: Do not graze or feed treated crops to livestock. Re-cropping: No restrictions.
Environmental PrecautionsLeaching: Readily leached from soil. In dry soils, it has a longer residual.

Application TipsBest results are obtained when Momentum is applied to actively growing weeds in the seedling stage and when Canada thistle is between 10 cm and up to but not including the early bud stage. Poor weed control may result under cool or dry conditions. Recommended boom height must be 60 cm or less above the crop or ground.
How it WorksMomentum is comprised of chemistries from the Group 4 herbicide group. When applied, it will move within the plant to control exposed and underground plant tissue. It mimics naturally occurring plant hormones and controls weeds by disrupting normal plant growth patterns. Symptoms include twisting of stems and swollen nodes.
Expected ResultsWeeds will start to twist shortly after being sprayed. The plants will continue to twist and bend, stop growing and eventually turn brown and die. When applied to more difficult to control weeds such as Canada thistle and wild buckwheat, the plants will stop growing but change colour more to a dark green and then yellow. Death may not occur for 14 - 21 days.

RestrictionsRainfall: Do not apply if rain is expected within 6 hours. Grazing: Livestock may graze on treated crops 3 days following application. However, review all chemistries in the tank mix: follow the most restrictive label for determining when livestock can be grazed on treated crop. Harvest: Do not harvest the treated crop within 60 days after application. Re-cropping: Fields previously treated with Momentum can be seeded the following year to wheat, barley, oats and rye (not underseeded to forage legumes, clover or alfalfa), canola, flax, mustard, field peas, or fields can be summerfallowed. Seed only those crops listed in the year following treatment.Note: do not seed field peas for at least 10 months following treatment. Very dry soil conditions following application can result in a risk of injury to field peas grown in rotation. If severe drought conditions are experienced during the months of June to August inclusive in the year of application, delay seeding field peas an additional 12 months (total 22 months following application). Contact the local Loveland Products representative or retailer for more information before seeding field peas following drought conditions in the previous year.
Environmental PrecautionsAvoid contamination of aquatic systems during application as Momentum contains petroleum distillate, which is moderately to highly toxic to aquatic organisms. Observe buffer zones as outlined on the label.

Application TipsFor best results, apply to emerged, young actively growing weeds. Weeds that emerge after application will not be controlled. When a rate range is given, the higher rate should be used: (1) when weed or crop growth is dense, (2) when the weeds are large and/or mature - i.e. advanced leaf stages and plant height and (3) when environmental conditions are cool and dry.
How it WorksMPower Good Harvest is a harvest aid and dessicant and works primarily as a contact herbicide. Thorough coverage of the weeds to be controlled is essential. Absorbed by all leaf and stem surfaces, it interferes with plants’ ability to detoxify ammonia. The speed of action of glyphosinate ammonium is influenced by environmental factors. At cool temperatures (below 10°C), poor moisture and low humidity, speed of action may be reduced.
Expected ResultsGenerally, visual symptoms appear 2 - 4 days after application.
Restrictions Rainfall: If rainfall occurs within 4 hours of application, effectiveness may be reduced. Grazing: Do not graze the treated crop or cut for hay; sufficient data are not available to support such use. Re-entry: Do not re-enter treated areas for 24 hours after application without protective clothing as for spraying. Re-cropping: There are no cropping or rotational restrictions after application.
Environmental PrecautionsHighly toxic to aquatic organisms and non-target terrestrial plants. Do not contaminate surface or ground water. Do not apply within 15 metres of environmentally sensitive areas.
ToxicityAcute oral LD50 (rats) = 2,000 mg/kg. No allergic potential.
StorageDo not store below freezing. If stored for one year or longer, shake well before using.

Application InformationWith: Apply with ground sprayers. Do not apply by air. Water Volume: 40 L/acre.
Application TipsGood growing conditions enhance the activity of Muster following maximum foliar uptake and contact activity. Weed regrowth may occur in thin stands and where crops suffer from reduced vigour and under poor growing conditions. Apply before the crop canopy prevents thorough coverage of the small target weeds.
How it WorksAbsorbed by foliage and roots. Inhibits cell elongation.
Expected ResultsMuster is an ALS inhibitor herbicide and thus rapidly inhibits the growth of susceptible weeds; however, typical symptoms (discolouration) of dying weeds may not be noticeable for 1 to 3 weeks after application depending upon growing conditions and weed susceptibility. Degree of control and duration of effect depend on weed sensitivity, weed size, growing conditions, and spray coverage. Regrowth may occur if crop competitiveness is impaired by thin stands and/or reduced vigour or if weeds have hardened off from cold weather or drought.
RestrictionsRainfall: Rainfall 4 - 6 hours after application may reduce effectiveness. Environmental conditions that slow the drying of Muster on the foliage, such as high relative humidity, cool air temperature or cloud cover, may increase the time required. Grazing: Do not graze or feed crop to livestock within 60 days of treatment. Pre-harvest Intervals: Do not harvest within 60 days of treatment. Re-cropping: Minimum interval of 10 months to seed spring wheat, durum wheat, barley, oats and flax. Minimum interval of 22 months after application to seed canola, lentils, field pea, fababeans, tame mustard, alfalfa, canaryseed, dry beans, fescue, and red clover. For all other crops perform a bioassay on the soil after 22 months to ensure no carryover damage. Interval Prior to Planting (months after application):
10 months Spring wheat, durum wheat, barley, oats, flax
22 months Canola, lentils, peas, fababeans, tame mustard, alfalfa, canary grass, dry beans, fescue, red clover
All other crops, field bioassay at 22 months.
Wherever Muster is used on land previously treated with Ally herbicide, read the rotational guidelines on both labels and follow the label with the longest interval stated for your situation.

Application InformationGround: low volume foliar broadcast - 202 litres spray volume per acre. Direct the spray solution to thoroughly wet the foliage of the target plants, but not to the point of runoff.Ground: high volume foliar broadcast - use Navius VM at 135.2 to 270.4 gm/ac in enough water to make 1000 litres of spray solution; use up to 810 litres per acre.Aerial application: fixed wing aircraft or helicopter; 12 - 20 litres spray volume per acre.
Application TipsFor best results, applications of Navius should be made when brush species and weeds are actively growing. Complete coverage of all foliage and stems is required for brush control. Applications should be made after the target species have leafed out, but before fall colouration has begun. Do not treat brush species that exceed 2.5 m in height (unless otherwise indicated) or control may be decreased. Where dense stands exist or where growth of the target species is advanced, use of the high volume foliar application method is recommended. Apply to brush species as a full coverage spray to foliage and stems using equipment that will ensure uniform coverage.
How it WorksThe most noticeable symptom is a bending and twisting of stems and leaves. Other advanced symptoms include severe chlorosis, necrosis, stem thickening, growth stunting, leaf crinkling, calloused stems and leaf veins, leaf-cupping and enlarged roots.
RestrictionsDo not graze or feed forage, hay or straw from treated areas to livestock. Do not use plant material as mulch or compost, and do not apply directly on or around desirable plants. Do not use on lawns or turf. If non-crop sites treated with Navius VM herbicide are to be converted to a food, feed or fiber agricultural crop or to a horticultural crop, a field bioassay should be completed before planting the desired crop. There is a possibility of off-site movement if applied to dry, light soils. Caution is advised when using this product in areas where loss of desirable conifer or deciduous trees and/or shrubs as well as other broadleaf plants, including but not limited to, legumes and wild flowers, cannot be tolerated. Low rates of DuPont Navius VM herbicide can kill or severely injure most crops.
Environmental PrecautionsObserve buffer zones specified under DIRECTIONS FOR USE on the Navius VM label.
ToxicityAcute oral LD50 (rats) = > 5,000 mg/kg. TOXIC to aquatic organisms and non-target terrestrial plants including coniferous and deciduous trees.
StorageStore product in original container only, away from other pesticides, fertilizer, food or feed.

How it WorksUptake of ethofumesate occurs primarily via the emerging shoot as it passes upwards through treated soil; however, for certain broadleaf species, root uptake is more important. Ethofumesate is non-volatile, and in all cases, uptake occurs from aqueous solution.
Expected ResultsEthofumesate applied pre-plant incorporated with proper activation will normally not permit weed emergence. If emergence should occur, uptake has occurred; seedling will show loss of vigour and eventual death.
RestrictionsRainfall: Normally 1.5 cm of rainfall is sufficient to activate Nortron. In areas where moisture can be marginal, incorporation is recommended. Grazing: Do not graze the treated crops or cut for hay; there are not sufficient data available to support such use. Re-cropping: Do not rotate with any crops other than sugar beets for 12 months after application. Thorough tillage should precede the planting of crops other than sugar beets. If crop is lost due to climatic or soil conditions following application of Nortron, do not plant crops other than sugar beets in Nortron-treated land during the same season.Do not retreat field with Nortron. Wheat and barley may be injured if planted following a dry sugar beet year.
Environmental PrecautionsNortron/Etho SC is toxic to aquatic organisms and non-target plants. Observe buffer zones of 1 metre for sensitive habitats.
ToxicityModerate to low acute toxicity. Acute oral LD50 (rats) > 2,100 mg/kg. Causes eye or skin irritation.
StorageDo not use or store near heat or open flames. Store Nortron in a cool place, above 0°C.

For green foxtail control, apply at the 1-6 leaf (up to emergence of the 3rd tiller) stage. ***Apply the tank mix from the full 3-leaf stage to the 6-leaf + 3 tiller stage of wheat (excluding durum) and barley and to kochia plants that are 2.5 - 10 cm in height.
Application InformationWith: Apply with ground equipment. Do not apply by air. Water Volume: 40 L/acre.
Application TipsWild oat herbicides require a 4 - 5 day interval before or after an application of Nuance/MPower X/Inferno WDG. Effectiveness may be reduced if spray mixture remains in tank for more than 24 hours. When tank mixed with Assert, apply within 12 hours of mixing.
How it WorksAbsorbed by foliage and roots, inhibits cell elongation.
Expected ResultsNuance/MPower X/Inferno WDG stops growth of susceptible weeds immediately. However, typical symptoms (discolouration) of dying weeds may not be noticeable for 1 - 3 weeks after application, depending on growing conditions and weed susceptibility. Degree of control and duration of effect depend on weed sensitivity, weed size, spray coverage and growing conditions. Favorable growing conditions following treatment promote the activity of Nuance/MPower X/Inferno WDG while cold, dry conditions delay the activity.

Application InformationHow to Apply: Ground application 20 - 40 L/acre. Air: water volume 12 - 20 L/acre.
Application TipsOcTTain XL activity is influenced by weather conditions. Optimum activity requires active crop and weed growth. The temperature range for optimum activity is 8°C to 24°C. Reduced activity will occur when temperatures are below 8°C or above 27°C. Frost before application (3 days) or shortly after (3 days) may reduce weed control and crop tolerance. Weed control may be reduced during stress conditions, e.g. drought, heat or cold stress, or if weeds have initiated flowering, or if heavy infestations exist. Application before the 4-leaf stage of wheat and barley may cause severe twisting of leaves and leaf, stem and head deformities, which may reduce, yield up to 10%. Do not apply later than the flag-leaf stage. Some twisting may be evident on barley. This twisting is transitory and may disappear within 3 weeks.
How it WorksOcTTain XL herbicide tank mix is non-residual. The components of OcTTain XL tank mix move within the plant to control exposed and underground plant tissue. It mimics naturally occurring plant hormones and controls weeds by disrupting normal plant growth patterns. Symptoms include twisting of stems and swollen nodes.
Expected ResultsBroadleaf weeds: Weeds start to twist shortly after spraying. After twisting and bending, plants stop growing, turn brown and die.

RestrictionsRainfall: Do not apply if rain is expected in 1 hour. Grazing: Do not permit lactating dairy animals to graze fields within 7 days after application. Do not harvest forage or cut for hay within 30 days after application. Withdraw meat animals from treated fields at least 3 days prior to slaughter. Pre-harvest Intervals: Do not harvest the treated mature crop within 60 days after application. Re-cropping: Fields treated with OcTTAin XL herbicide tank mix can be seeded the following year to alfalfa, barley, corn, dry beans, canola, flax, forage grasses, lentils, mustard, oats, peas, potatoes, rye, soybeans, sugar beets, sunflowers, wheat or summerfallowed. Do not seed crops other than those listed above for at least one year following treatment.
Environmental PrecautionsA 15 metre buffer zone should be established between areas to be sprayed and aquatic environments or sensitive habitats. Runoff: Under certain conditions, OcTTain XL has the potential to run off from treated areas. To reduce runoff from treated areas into aquatic habitats, consider the characteristics and conditions of the site before treatment. Site characteristics and conditions that may lead to runoff include, but are not limited to, heavy rainfall, moderate to steep slope, bare soil and poorly draining soil (e.g. soils that are compacted, fine textured, or low in organic matter such as clay). Avoid application of this product when heavy rain is forecast. Contamination of aquatic areas as a result of runoff may be reduced by including a vegetative strip (buffer zone) between the treated area and the edge of the water body.
Toxicity2,4-D has moderate acute mammalian toxicity. Acute oral LD50 = technical 639 - 764 mg/kg. Fluroxypyr has very low mammalian toxicology. Acute oral LD50 > 2,000 mg/kg.

Application InformationWith: Apply with ground equipment only. Water Volume: 40 L/acre.
Application TipsWater soluble bags will dissolve better when kept intact; do not split bags. If agitation is stopped for more than 5 minutes, re-suspend spray solution by full agitation prior to commencing spraying again. Do not spray Odyssey/Duet if temperatures of +5oC or lower are forecasted within 3 days of application. Temperatures near freezing (below 5ºC) will prevent optimum herbicide performance, as weeds are not actively growing. Initial transient crop yellowing may be observed after application, but this is outgrown and should not affect yield. Use 50 mesh or coarser filter screens.
How it WorksAbsorbed by foliage and roots. Disrupts plant metabolism causing growth to stop. Works best under good growing conditions. Residual activity of small seeded, shallow germinating flushing weeds (not wild oats) expected until crop flowering. Moist conditions result in better residual control.
Expected ResultsSusceptible weeds stop growing within 24 - 48 hours. Yellow striping and purplish or reddish discolouration of the leaves may occur. Leaves begin to die in 3 - 10 days starting with the youngest and moving to the older leaves. Death of the plant may occur in 1 - 3 weeks.

Restrictions Rainfall: Do not apply if rain is expected in 3 hours. Grazing: Do not graze treated canola, CLEARFIELD XCEED canola or cut for hay; sufficient data are not available to support such uses. Field peas treated with Odyssey/Duet may be fed to livestock 30 days after application. Pre-harvest Intervals: After 60 days, bird’s-foot trefoil, canola, field peas, fenugreek (for seed uses only) and lentils can be harvested. Only apply Odyssey/Duet once per year. Re-cropping: Barley, CLEARFIELD canola, canary seed, chickpeas, durum wheat, field corn, field peas, lentils (incl. CLEARFIELD lentils), oats, soybean, spring wheat and XCEED can be grown safely the year following an application. Flax, non-CLEARFIELD canola and sunflowers can be grown in the second year after an Odyssey/Duet application (e.g. if you used Odyssey/Duet in 2016, you can grow non-CLEARFIELD canola in 2018). Research studies have shown that flax, non CLEARFIELD canola and non CLEARFIELD sunflower may be safely planted two (2) years following Odyssey/Duet application in all regions of Western Canada except the Peace River Region of Alberta and British Columbia. In the Peace River Region, wait a minimum of 3 years and perform a field bio-assay the year prior to planting canola. For other crops, call BASF at 1-877-371-2273. Conduct a field bioassay the year before growing any crops other than those listed above. In case of crop failure, replant only to CLEARFIELD canola or field peas.
Environmental PrecautionsOdyssey/Duet is highly toxic to non-target plants. A buffer zone of 14 metres is required between sprayed area and sensitive habitat.
ToxicityLow acute toxicity. Acute oral LD50 (rats) = 5,000 mg/kg. Non-toxic to fish, birds and bees.

Registered Tank MixesCan be mixed with Poast Ultra for control of quackgrass and fall germinated Japanese brome.
Application InformationWith: Apply with ground equipment only. Water Volume: 40 L/acre.Use 50 mesh or coarser filter screens.
Application TipsWater soluble bags will dissolve better when kept intact; do not split bags. If agitation is stopped for more that 5 minutes, re-suspend spray solution by full agitation prior to commencing spraying again. Do not spray Odyssey Ultra if temperatures of +5ºC or lower are forecast within 3 days of application. Temperatures near freezing (below 5ºC) will prevent optimum herbicide performance. Apply when weeds are small and actively growing. Initial transient crop yellowing may be observed after application, but this is outgrown and should not affect yield.
How it WorksAbsorbed by foliage and roots. Disrupts plant metabolism causing growth to stop. Works best under good growing conditions. Residual activity of small seeded, shallow germinating flushing weeds (not wild oats) expected until crop flowering. Moist conditions result in better residual control.
Expected ResultsOdyssey causes susceptible weeds to stop growing within 24 - 48 hours. Yellow striping and purplish or reddish discolouration of the leaves may occur. Leaves begin to die in 3 - 10 days starting with the youngest and moving to the older leaves. Death of the plant may occur in 1 - 3 weeks. Equinox is a systemic herbicide that causes growth to cease within 48 hours. Young leaves will turn yellow within 5 - 10 days; some grasses will then turn reddish. Necrotic spots will form on grass leaves.
RestrictionsRainfall: Do not apply if rain is expected within 3 hours. Grazing: Do not graze treated peas 60 days after application. Pre-harvest Intervals: After 60 days, field peas, CLEARFIELD canola and CLEARFIELD lentils can be harvested. Re-cropping: Barley, CLEARFIELD canola, canary seed, chickpeas, durum wheat, fababeans, field corn, field peas, lentils (incl. CLEARFIELD lentils), oats, and spring wheat can be grown safely the year following an application. Flax, non-CLEARFIELD canola and sunflowers can be grown in the second year after an Odyssey application (e.g. if you used Odyssey in 2010, you can grow non-CLEARFIELD canola in 2012). In the Peace River Region of Alberta and British Columbia, wait a minimum of 3 years and perform a field bio-assay the year prior to planting canola. For other crops, call BASF at 1-877-371-2273. Conduct a field bioassay the year before growing any crops other than those listed above. In case of crop failure, replant only to CLEARFIELD canola or field peas.

How it WorksParadigm is a selective post-emergence herbicide for the control of hard-to-kill annual broadleaved weeds. Paradigm must be applied early post-emergence to the main flush of actively growing broadleaved weeds. Warm, moist growing conditions promote active weed growth and enhance the activity of Paradigm by allowing maximum foliar uptake and activity. For best results, ensure thorough spray coverage of target weeds. Paradigm is a mixture of a systemic auxin-type herbicide (Group 4) and an ALS enzyme inhibitor-type herbicide (Group 2). The product controls weeds by disrupting normal plant growth patterns and/or by inhibiting production of the enzyme essential for production of certain amino acids essential for plant growth. Paradigm applied pre-seed or as a post harvest treatment must be applied to emerged, actively growing weeds. Good growing conditions enhance herbicide activity. Under growing stress conditions (drought, cold, etc.), weeds may not be adequately controlled or suppressed.
Expected ResultsWeeds start to twist between 2 - 20 days after spraying, dependant on weather conditions and nature of weeds. Following twisting and bending, plants will turn brown and then die.
RestrictionsRainfall: Rainfall within 1 hour of application may reduce effectiveness of the herbicide. Grazing: Livestock may be grazed on treated crops 7 days following application. Re-entry: Do not enter the treated field for 12 hours. Pre-harvest Intervals: Do not harvest the treated crop within 60 days after application. Re-cropping: Fields previously treated with Paradigm can be seeded after a minimum of 10 months to spring wheat, spring barley, canola, flax, commercial potato, Juncea canola, field pea, oriental, brown and yellow mustard, soybeans, sunflower, or fields can be summerfallowed. Lentils can be planted 22 months after application of Paradigm.
Environmental Precautions:1 metre buffer zone required between treated area and terrestrial and water habitats.
ToxicityLD50 (rats) > 5,000 mg/kg.

Table of Contents
Application TipsAvoid spraying crops during adverse growing conditions, especially drought, high temperatures (over 29°C) or in high humidity.
How it WorksA contact herbicide so good coverage is essential. Inhibits respiration and photosynthesis causing death.
Expected ResultsWeeds turn brown and die within 3 - 5 days - more rapid under good growing conditions and when applied to seedling weeds. Poor results can be expected if weeds past 4 leaf stage, poor spray coverage or lower than recommended rate used. Injury to corn may occur if under stress.
RestrictionsRainfall: Rainfall within 2 hours of application may reduce weed control. Grazing: Wheat, barley, oats and seedling alfalfa - Do not use treated crops for grazing of livestock or green feed until 30 days after application. Do not cut treated crops for forage until 30 days after application. CAUTION: Do not graze other treated crops or cut for feed unless specified above; sufficient data are not available to support such use. Re-cropping: None.
Environmental PrecautionsBromoxynil is moderately to highly toxic to aquatic organisms and non-target terrestrial plants. Avoid contamination of aquatic systems during application.
ToxicityModerate to high oral toxicity. Acute oral LD50 (rats) = 368 mg/kg. Very toxic to fish. Intake of a large dose may cause convulsions, sudden collapse and coma. Can be absorbed through the skin.
StoragePardner/Koril/Bromotril/Brotex formulations will solidify at temperatures below -20°C, but will be usable again at temperatures above 0°C.

* Applications to emerged weeds require the addition of a non-ionic surfactant with 80% or greater active ingredient content at the lowest labelled rate for the surfactant regardless of crop stage. ** Note: Certain weeds such as lamb’s quarters and Canada fleabane are not controlled when applied post-emergent.
Registered Tank MixesDry beans: Eptam 1.72 - 2.12 L/acre at pre-emergent stage only. Requires incorporation. Field corn: 2,4-D, Accent, Aatrex, Dicamba and glyphosate in glyphosate tolerant corn only.
Application InformationAdding ingredients in the correct order is critical for optimum performance. Check labels of both products to be mixed for directions.
Application TipsDo not apply by air. Water Volume: Minimum 40 to 55 L per acre. Use the higher volume when there is a heavy crop canopy or weeds are at an advanced stage.
How it WorksHalosulfuron is a Group 2 herbicide that is absorbed by the foliage and roots, readily translocated throughout the plant and inhibits cell division. Symptoms on dying weeds may not be noticeable for 1 to 3 weeks after application depending on weed sensitivity, weed size, growing conditions and spray coverage.
RestrictionsRainfall: Activity of foliar applications may be reduced if rainfall or irrigation occurs within 4 hours. Pre-emergent surface applications will benefit from some rainfall, but excessive rainfall (greater than 1 inch or 2.5 cm) shortly after application may result in injury, especially when seeding is shallow. Re-entry Interval: Do not enter treated field for 12 hours. Grazing: DO NOT graze or cut corn for livestock greenfeed within 30 days of the last application. Allow 30 days for sweet corn and 65 days for popcorn or grain corn from the last application to foliage and the harvesting of silage. Proso (crown) millet may be grazed immediately after treatment. DO NOT cut proso (crown) millet for hay within 37 days of application or feed straw within 50 days of application. Pre-harvest Interval: DO NOT harvest dry beans within 30 days of post-emergent applications. DO NOT harvest proso (crown) millet within 50 days of application.

Application InformationHow to Apply: Apply with ground equipment. Water volume: Ground sprayers - 45 L/acre.
Application TipsMaximum 40 psi (275 kPa) when using conventional flat fan nozzles. Pinnacle applied to crops that have been under stress before application may result in crop injury. Stress conditions within 3 days of application may also result in crop injury. Weeds under stress conditions at time of application may not be adequately controlled. Injury symptoms can be crop discolouration (yellowing, purpling or reddening) or stunting.
How it WorksPinnacle rapidly stops growth of susceptible weeds. However, typical symptoms (discolouration) of dying weeds may not be noticeable for 1 to 3 weeks after application, depending on growing conditions and weed susceptibility.
RestrictionsRainfall: Up to 1 inch of rain beginning 1 hour or more after spraying will not reduce Pinnacle effectiveness. Several hours of dry weather are needed after application to allow uptake by the plants. Grazing: Do not graze or cut for feed. Pre-harvest intervals: Minimum time (PHI) between application and harvest is 60 days. Re-entry: Do not re-enter treated area until 12 hours after application. Re-cropping: Do not plant any crop other than wheat or barley, soybeans, tomatoes or CLEARFIELD canola for 30 days after application.

Application InformationHow to Apply: Ground or aerial application. Water volume: 20 - 40 L per acre by ground sprayer, 12 L per acre by air.
Application Tips DO NOT apply with spray droplets smaller than coarse classification. Boom height must be 60 cm or less above the crop or ground.
How it WorksPixxaro is a systemic herbicide that moves within the plant for control of exposed and underground plant tissues. The product controls weeds by disrupting normal plant growth patterns. Symptoms of weeds include epinasty (twisting of the stems) and swollen nodes. Warm, moist growing conditions promote active weed growth and enhance the activity of Pixxaro by allowing maximum foliar uptake and activity. Weeds hardened off by cold weather or drought stress may not be adequately controlled or suppressed and re-growth may occur.
Expected ResultsWeeds start to twist between 2 - 20 days after spraying, dependant on weather conditions and nature of weeds. Following twisting and bending, plants will turn brown then die.
RestrictionsRainfall: Rainfast within 1 hour of application. Grazing: Livestock may be grazed on treated crops 21 days following application. Pre-harvest Intervals: Do not harvest the treated crop within 60 days after application. Re-cropping: Fields previously treated with Pixxaro can be seeded to fall rye and winter wheat 3 months after application. After a minimum of 10 months, can be seeded to spring wheat, spring barley, oats, canola, flax, field peas, mustard, commercial potatoes or fields can be summerfallowed. Lentils can be planted 22 months after application of Pixxaro.

Application InformationWith: Apply with ground equipment or by air. Water Volume: Ground: 20 - 45 L/acre. Dense foliage, heavy infestations and for quackgrass control: 45 - 80 L/acre. Air: 10 - 20 L/acre.
Application TipsFor optimum control of grassy weeds, when grasses are actively growing, there is good soil moisture and crop is small enough to permit thorough spray coverage. Grasses growing in less than ideal conditions are more difficult to control. Do not spray Poast Ultra if temperatures of +5°C or lower are forecasted within 3 days of application. Temperatures near freezing (below 5ºC) will prevent optimum herbicide performance, as weeds are not actively growing. Escapes or re-tillering may occur under prolonged stress conditions or low fertility. Do not apply on grasses stressed longer than 20 days due to lack of moisture as unsatisfactory control can result.Quackgrass Control: Apply when quackgrass is actively growing up to the 3 leaf stage (8 to 12 cm in height). Cultivation is necessary prior to spraying to stimulate even quackgrass growth and to obtain control. Where poor soil fertility (i.e., low nitrogen) exists, quackgrass control may not be satisfactory.

How it WorksPoast Ultra is a contact and a systemic herbicide. Absorbed primarily by foliage and translocated to the growing points. Inhibits formation of fatty acids in these tissues. Thorough coverage of the foliage is important for consistent grass control.
Expected ResultsSusceptible grasses stop growing immediately, gradually turn yellow and then brown. The time required for complete control is normally 7 - 21 days (annual grasses). Control of quackgrass develops more slowly than control of annual grasses. Poast Ultra is translocated through the quackgrass plant to the rhizomes and kills actively growing rhizome buds, as well as above ground vegetation. Dormant rhizome buds will remain unaffected by the spray and regrowth can occur from these buds. The regrowth will not be significant until 6 - 8 weeks after treatment, depending on growing conditions, crop cultivation practices and crop competition.
RestrictionsRainfall: Rainfall within one hour of application may reduce the weed control. Grazing: Do not graze the treated crop or cut for hay; sufficient data are not available to support such use. Forage legumes indicated in the label may be cut for hay provided pre-harvest intervals are followed. Re-entry: Do not enter or allow entry into treated areas for 12 hours.Pre-harvest Intervals:

Application TipsHigher spray volumes are needed with a dense crop canopy and/or large weeds. Predicade left in the tank for more than 24 hours might have reduced effectiveness. When crop is under stress, application may result in crop injury such as temporary crop colour lightening or a slight height reduction. Clean sprayer immediately after application and use ammonia. Under drought conditions, do not spray if time between seeding and spraying exceeds 35 days as drought hastens crop development. Do not spray 3 days prior to or following cold temperatures (3°C or lower).Note: Perimeter II Herbicide activity is influenced by weather conditions. Optimum activity requires active crop and weed growth. The temperature range for optimum activity is 12°C to 24°C. Reduced activity will occur when temperatures are below 8°C or above 27°C. Frost before application (3 days) or shortly after (3 days) may reduce weed control and crop tolerance. Weed control may be reduced during stress conditions, e.g. drought, heat or cold stress, or if weeds have initiated flowering, or if heavy infestations exist.
How it WorksPerimeter is absorbed through foliage and inhibits cell elongation. Causes stem elongation, leaf cupping or curling.
Expected ResultsGrowth stops immediately. Discoloration of dying weeds may not be noticeable for 1 to 3 weeks after application, depending on growing conditions and weed species. Grassy plants develop chlorotic discoloration on the leaves, which sometimes turn red. Complete control may take 2 to 4 weeks. Poor results may be expected if there is improper mixing, timing, coverage or when weeds are under drought stress.
RestrictionsRainfall: Rainfall within 2 hours of application may reduce weed control. Grazing: May not be grazed or fed to livestock within 7 days of application or cut for hay within 30 days after application. Pre-harvest Intervals: Do not harvest spring or durum wheat for grain or straw within 60 days of application. Re-cropping: barley, canola, flax, lentils, mustard, oats, alfalfa, field corn, dry beans, soybeans, sunflowers, peas, spring wheat (including durum) can be seeded 10 months after application.
Environmental PrecautionsThis product is toxic to aquatic organisms and non-target terrestrial plants. Observe buffer zones of 15 metres with ground application. Do not allow into surface water, drains and groundwater.
ToxicityModerately toxic by ingestion. Oral LD50 (rats) = > 2,000 mg/kg. Moderate skin and eye irritation.

Application Information: With: Apply with ground equipment only. Do not apply by air. Water Volume: 20 - 40 L/acre.
Application TipsPre-seed weed burndown/summerfallow: PrePass must be applied to emerged, actively growing weeds. Warm, moist growing conditions promote active weed growth and enhance the activity of PrePass by allowing maximum foliar uptake and contact activity. Weeds hardened off by cold weather or drought stress may not be adequately controlled or suppressed and re-growth may occur. For best results, ensure thorough spray coverage of target weeds. Reduced control may also occur when applied to weeds heavily covered in dust. Fall stubble: Prepass can be applied until late October, but active weed growth must be present.
How it WorksPrePass A and PrePass Flex are taken up by leaves and stops growth of susceptible weeds rapidly via inhibition of the ALS enzyme. PrePass B is a non-selective systemic herbicide that moves through foliage into the roots, resulting in plant mortality.
Expected ResultsWeeds susceptible to PrePass A or PrePass Flex will stop growing almost immediately. Newer leaves start to yellow and wilt, followed by a loss of green colour. Symptoms will spread to the rest of the plant with some weeds showing purpling or reddening. Under good growing conditions, complete control may occur within 7 - 10 days after application. Annual weeds susceptible to Prepass B or glyphosate applied with PrePass Flex will wilt and yellow within 2 - 4 days. Perennials will show similar symptoms within 5 - 10 days after application.

Application InformationWith: Apply with ground equipmentor by air. Water Volume: 20 - 40 L/acre Ground, 12 - 20 L/acre air.
Application TipsPrestige is a non-residual herbicide and will only control emerged weeds. Temperature range for optimum activity and control is 12°C to 24°C. Reduced activity will occur when temperatures are below 8°C or above 27°C. Frost before application (3 days) or shortly after (3 days) may reduce weed control and crop tolerance. Weed control may be reduced during stress conditions. Wet foliage at time of application may result in reduced weed control. Common chickweed control: Prestige will only control chickweed that is emerged at time of application. Chickweed plants which emerge after application will not be controlled. To improve the reduction in chickweed population at the end of season, delay the timing of application as late as possible to when the majority of chickweed plants have emerged.
How it WorksThe components of Prestige tank mix move within the plant to control exposed and underground plant tissue. The herbicide mimics naturally occurring plant hormones and controls weeds by disrupting normal plant growth patterns. Symptoms include twisting of stems and swollen nodes.
Expected ResultsWeeds start to twist shortly after being sprayed. After twisting and bending, plants stop growing, turn brown and die. Difficult-to-control weeds such as Canada thistle and wild buckwheat stop growing, change colour to dark green and then turn yellow. Death may not occur for 14 - 21 days. Some weak Canada thistle regrowth may occur by the end of season

Application InformationWith: Ground Equipment only. Do not apply by air. Water Volume: Ground application: 20 - 40 L/acre.
Mixing InstructionsMix florasulam herbicide, then add chosen glyphosate.
Application TipsPre-seed weed burndown/summerfallow: Priority and others must be applied to emerged, actively growing weeds. Warm, moist growing conditions promote active weed growth and enhance the activity of florasulam by allowing maximum foliar uptake and contact activity. Weeds hardened off by cold weather or drought stress may not be adequately controlled or suppressed, and regrowth may occur. For best results, ensure thorough spray coverage of target weeds. Reduced control may also occur when applied to weeds heavily covered in dust.
How it WorksPriority and others are taken by leaves and stops growth of susceptible weeds rapidly via inhibition of the ALS enzyme. Glyphosate is a non-selective systemic herbicide that moves through foliage into the roots, resulting in plant mortality.
Expected ResultsWeeds: Weeds susceptible to florasulam will stop growing immediately. Newer leaves start to yellow and wilt, followed by a loss of green colour. Symptoms will spread to the rest of the plant with some weeds showing purpling or reddening. Under good growing conditions, complete control may occur within 7 - 10 days after application. Annual weeds susceptible to glyphosate will wilt and yellow within 2 - 4 days. Perennials will show similar symptoms within 5 - 10 days after application.
RestrictionsRainfall: Heavy rainfall immediately after application may wash the chemical off the foliage, reducing effectiveness. Do not apply if rainfall is imminent at time of application. Grazing: Do not graze treated areas within 7 days. Re-cropping: Pre-seed burn down - fields treated with Priority/glyphosate tank mix can be seeded to barley, oats or wheat in the year of application.
ToxicityPriority Acute Oral LD50 (rats) => 5,000 mg/kg.

Crop Timing Remarks
Potatoes (irrigated) Apply prior to initiation of flowering Delay cultivation for 7 - 10 days after application.
Note: Because potato varieties differ in their tolerance to herbicides, limit first use of Prism herbicide to a small area of each variety prior to adoption as a field practice.
Weeds and Staging Apply to young, actively growing broadleaf weeds before the canopy closes.

Application InformationWith: Apply with ground equipment. Do not apply by air. Water Volume: 40 L/acre.
Application TipsA rapid fluctuation in temperature (greater than 20 ºC difference within 24 - 36 hours) will stress the crop. For maximum crop safety, allow 48 - 72 hours for the crop to acclimatize before spraying Prism. For maximum crop safety, apply only when the temperature in the 24 hours before and after the application ranges between 5 ºC and 28 ºC. Crop injury may result if application is made to potatoes that have been stressed. If potatoes have been injured by frost, wait 48 - 72 hours before applying Prism herbicide.
How it WorksPrism is absorbed through the foliage and inhibits cell elongation.
Expected ResultPrism herbicide rapidly stops growth of susceptible species; typical symptoms usually appear within 5 - 7 days, but may not be noticeable for 2 - 3 weeks after application, depending on growing conditions and weed susceptibility. Warm, moist conditions following application promote the activity of Prism, while cool and/or dry conditions may reduce or delay activity. Poor results may be expected if improper mixing, timing, coverage or when weeds are under stress.
RestrictionsRainfall: Rainfall within 2 - 4 hours of application may lessen degree of weed control. Grazing Restrictions: Do not graze the treated crops or cut for hay; sufficient data is not available to support such use. Pre-harvest Intervals: 30 days. Make only one application per year. Re-cropping: Barley, soybeans, white beans, red clover, sorghum, field corn, and potatoes may be planted 10 months after application. Winter wheat may be planted 4 months after application. For all other crops, a field bioassay is recommended before planting.

Application InformationWith: Apply with ground equipment. Do not apply by air. Water Volume: Ground (45 L/acre). Do not apply by air.
Mixing InstructionsUse mixing instructions “a” on page 13.
Application TipsDo not tank mix with any other adjuvant, chemical additives, pesticides or fertilizers unless recommended on the label. For optimum results, apply Pulsar to actively growing weeds. Weed control after application of Pulsar may be less than ideal under conditions where plants are stressed.
How it WorksPulsar is a systemic, post-emergence herbicide for the selective control of the above mentioned weeds. Pulsar moves within the plant to control both exposed and underground plant tissues. The product controls weeds by disrupting normal plant growth patterns. Symptoms include epinasty (twisting of the stems) and swollen nodes.
Expected ResultsWeeds: Can take up to 7 - 10 days depending on weather and growing conditions. Leaves curl, leaf edges turn brown, petioles twist, plant ceases growth and turns brown and dies. Crop: Improper or untimely application can result in abnormal bending at the nodes of grain stalks, difficulty in head emergence from sheath, curled awns, malformed kernels and sterile florets. Under certain conditions, straw shortening may occur but yield will not be affected. Rainfall: Pulsar alone can be used one hour before rainfall.
RestrictionsOne application per year is permitted.Re-cropping: Fields previously treated with Pulsar can be seeded the following year to barley, canola, flax, forage grasses, lentils, mustard, oats, peas, rye or wheat or fields can be summerfallowed. Grazing: Do not graze cattle on treated crop, or harvest for silage until 7 days following the application of Pulsar. With tank mixes, graze or silage crop at least 12 weeks following treatment. Pre-harvest Intervals: 60 days after application. Drift: Reduce drift and buffer zones by using either individual nozzle shields or a boom shield. Buffer zone guideline: Terrestrial and aquatic habitats: 15 metres.
ToxicityVery low acute toxicity LD50 > 5,000 mg/kg.

Bayer CropScience supports the following mixes that are not on the Puma Advance label. Mixable herbicides are OcTTain (in spring and durum wheat), BarricadeTilt, Momentum and Sevin XLR in spring,durum wheat and barley. Apply mixes according to the most restrictive use limitations for either product. Viterra supports the following unregistered mixes: Broadside; Retain; Propel, Pivot or Tilt on spring and durum wheat and barley. OcTTAin on spring and durum wheat. ADAMA supports the addition of ForceFighter M as a tank mix partner with Bengal WB.
Application InformationHow to Apply: Apply with ground sprayers or by air. Water Volume: Ground: 22 - 45 L/acre. Use higher water volume for dense canopies. Air: 13.5 L/acre.
Mixing InstructionsUse mixing instructions “c” on page 13.
Application TipsApplication beyond the 6 leaf stage in spring wheat, durum wheat or barley may result in injury. Early application is important to maintain crop safety. Initial crop injury may occur in the form of crop shortening or discolouration and is more likely when fenoxaprop is applied alone and not tank mixed or is applied past the recommended leaf stage or under stressful growing conditions. Barley tends to be more susceptible to this injury than wheat. This condition is temporary and should not affect yield.Under stressed conditions and/or heavy crop canopy, early application will result in improved grassy weed control. If another pesticide has already been applied, wait 7 days before applying Puma120 Super/Puma Advance/WildCat/Bengal WB/Cordon/Vigil WB/MPOWER Hellcat/Cougar, or following application of Puma120 Super/Puma Advance/WildCat/Bengal WB/Cordon/Vigil WB/MPOWER Hellcat/Cougar, a 4 day interval is required before applying another pesticide, except for those recommended on the label.
How it WorksFenoxaprop-p-ethyl is a contact as well as systemic herbicide. It has no soil residual activity. Regions of high meristematic activity, such as root and shoot tips, are known to be affected.
Expected ResultsReduction of leaf growth and chlorosis blotching within 1 - 3 days after application. Initial development of leaf chlorosis within 5 -8 days after application and complete death within 14 - 21 days.
RestrictionsRainfall: Do not apply if rain is expected within 1 hour after spraying. Grazing: Do not graze the treated crops or cut for hay within 25 days of application or harvest for grain within 65 days of application. Do not graze treated perennial ryegrass or cut for straw within 65 days of application. Re-cropping: No restrictions the year after application. Do not graze treated meadow bromegrass or use for hay within 25 days of application.
Environmental PrecautionsFenoxzprop-p-ethyl is toxic to fish, daphnids, aquatic plants, terrestrial plants and some terrestrial invertebrates. Leave a 3- 10 metres buffer zone around sensitive aquatic or terrestrial habitats.
ToxicityModerate acute mammalian toxicity. May cause burns upon contact with skin and eyes, and it can be absorbed through the skin.
StorageIf stored for 1 year or longer, shake well before using.

Pursuit 240/MultiStar/Guardsman Gladiator/MPower Kamikaze/ Phantom 240 SL (cont’d)
Application InformationWith: Ground equipment only. Do not apply by air. Water Volume: 40 - 160 L/acre.
Mixing InstructionsUse mixing instructions “a” on page 13.
Application TipsDo not spray if temperatures of +5ºC or lower are forecasted within 3 days of application. Temperatures near freezing (below 5ºC) will prevent optimum herbicide performance, as weeds are not actively growing.
How it WorksAbsorbed by foliage and roots. Disrupts plant metabolism causing growth to stop. Works best under good growing conditions.
Expected ResultsSusceptible weeds stop growing within 24 - 48 hours. Yellow striping and purplish or reddish discolouration of the leaves may occur. Leaves begin to die in 3 - 10 days starting with the youngest and moving to the older leaves. Death of the plant may occur in 1 - 3 weeks.
RestrictionsRainfall: Rainfall within 6 hours of application may reduce activity. Grazing: Alfalfa - may be grazed or harvested for forage 14 days after application. Field peas - may be fed to livestock 30 days after application. Other crops - do not graze treated crops or cut for feed prior to crop maturity. Pre-harvest Intervals: Field peas and chickling vetch - do not apply within 60 days of harvesting. Alfalfa - do not harvest within 14 days after application. Beans - do not harvest within 75 days after application. Re-cropping: Black, Gray Wooded and Irrigated Brown soil zones: Spring wheat, CLEARFIELD canola, field peas, lentils and alfalfa may be planted the season following an imazethapyr application. Barley may be planted in the Black and Gray Wooded soil zones the season following application. For other crops, call BASF at 1-877-371-2273. Perform a field bioassay on other crops prior to planting them on a field-scale. In case of crop failure, replant only to CLEARFIELD canola or field peas the year of application.
Environmental PrecautionsImazethapyr is toxic to aquatic and non-target terrestrial plants. Do not apply within 15 metres of shelterbelts, water bodies, wetlands and woodland lots.
ToxicityOral - practically non-toxic. Acute Oral LD50 (rats) = > 5,000 mg/kg.
StorageStore at temperatures above 0°C. If product is exposed to temperatures below 0°C during shipment or storage, make sure the product has thawed completely and shake container vigorously.

Registered Tank Mixes
Tank mix partner Pyramin + tank mix partner rate Remarks
Nortron Pyramin: 2.12 L/acre + Nortron: 1.48 L/acre Apply one application per year, prior to weed emergence.
Application InformationWith: Ground equipment. Do not apply by air. Water Volume: See above. Rates for row spacing and band width are variable. Incorporation: Pre-plant - incorporate shallow. Fall ridging - apply Pyramin in a 17.5 cm band and cover with a 15 - 20 cm high ridge of soil. In the spring, level the ridges and leave guide marks to enable planting the bands. Avoid levelling deeper than the chemical placement.
Application TipsPyramin must not be mixed into soil deeper than seed is planted to reduce beet injury.
How it WorksThe active ingredient in Pyramin is absorbed by the roots and is translocated to the leaves.
Expected ResultsIf adequate moisture is present, the weeds will fail to emerge. If the soil is dry for a long time, weeds that emerge and become well established will not be fully controlled, but small emerged weeds may die back, once adequate moisture is present.
RestrictionsRainfall: No effect. Grazing: The tops of beets grown in Pyramin-treated soil may be used for human consumption or fed to livestock. Re-cropping: None.
Environmental PrecautionsDo not apply Pyramin to aquatic organisms and terrestrial plants. Do not apply within 5 metres of sensitive terrestrial habitats and 1 metre of sensitive aquatic habits.
ToxicityOral - Low toxicity. Acute oral LD50 (rats) = > 2,369 mg/kg.
StorageStore in a cool, dry place. Do not store below 0°C.

Table of Contents
Application InformationWater: Ground equipment: 80 L/acre, aerial: 20 L/acre.Surfactant required at 0.2% v/v.
Mixing instructionsFill tank to ¾ full with water; use continuous agitation; add Reclaim A or Reclaim II A. Pre-slurrying with water may be necessary where there is little or no agitation, or an injection system is being used or where herbicide is first added to a tank other than the spray tank. Add Reclaim B or Reclaim II B, then non-ionic surfactant and then an anti-foaming agent (if required) then finish filling the tank.
Application TipsApplication timing is critical for weed control. For optimum weed control, target weeds must be emerged and actively growing for proper translocation and systemic weed activity. Conditions such as drought or periods of slow growth may reduce the level of efficacy. Drift of even small amounts of Reclaim or Reclaim II onto sensitive plants or into areas where sensitive crops may be grown can cause injury. Do not apply under conditions prone to drift (i.e. high winds and temperature inversions).
How it WorksReclaim and Reclaim II are herbicides that interfere with cell division causing leaf cupping, stem distortion and eventually the death of the plant. Reclaim and Reclaim II are absorbed through the leaves and roots of the plant.
Expected ResultsPerennial weeds show distorted stems and cupped leaves, which turn yellow and then brown. Usually, native grass increases in abundance as result of reduced competition. Poor results may be expected if weeds are not actively growing in late summer or as a result of environmental stress such as frost or drought.
RestrictionsRainfall: No effect. Do not apply if rainfall is forecast for the time of application. Grazing: Do not allow lactating dairy animals to graze treated areas within 7 days of application. There is no restriction on livestock (except lactating dairy animals) grazing in treated areas. Withdraw meat animals from treated fields at least 3 days before slaughter. Do not harvest forage or cut hay within 30 days of application. Cropping Restrictions: If legumes are desired in a pasture, do not use Reclaim or Reclaim II. Do not plant to sensitive broadleaf crops for at least 3 years after application of Reclaim or Reclaim II.
Environmental PrecautionsRunoff: Aminopyralid, one of the components in Reclaim, may move with water in very coarsely textured soils.
ToxicityToxic to small mammals, birds, aquatic organisms and non-target terrestrial plants. Oral - low toxicity. Acute oral LD50 - aminopyralid: > 2,000 ppm; metsulfuron-methyl: > 5,000 ppm; 2,4-D ester: 300 - 1,200 ppm.

Loveland Products will also support BroadSide with Axial Xtreme and Traxos. Apply mixes according to the most restrictive use limitations for either product.
Application InformationWith: Ground and aerial equipment. Water Volume: Ground: 22 L/acre (minimum).
Mixing InstructionsUse mixing instructions “b” on page 13.
Application TipsHigher spray volumes are required for dense crop canopy and/or large weeds. Weeds should be less than 10 cm tall or across at application. Effectiveness of Refine SG may be reduced if it remains in the tank for more than 24 hours.
How it WorksAbsorbed through foliage. Refine SG inhibits cell elongation. MCPA ester is a systemic herbicide absorbed by leaf and stem and translocated to actively growing regions. It disrupts cell division causing abnormal growth.
Expected ResultsWeeds: Growth stops immediately. Discolouration of dying weeds may not be noticeable for 1 - 3 weeks after application depending on growing conditions and weed species. Poor results may be expected if there is improper mixing, timing, coverage or when weeds are under drought stress.
RestrictionsRainfall: Rainfall within 2 hours of application may lessen degree of weed control with Refine M. Grazing: Barley, wheat and oats may be grazed or fed to livestock 7 days after application of Refine M. Do not graze the treated crop or cut for hay within 7 days of application of Refine SG. Re-cropping: Canola, flax, lentils and alfalfa may be planted 2 months after application of Refine M. There are no restrictions on next crop year. Note: Do not exceed a total of 12 g/acre per crop year for the Refine SG part of Refine M.
Environmental PrecautionsRefine SG is toxic to aquatic organisms and non-target terrestrial plants. For ground applications, maintain a 15 metre buffer zone between sprayed area and sensitive habitats.
ToxicityLow acute toxicity. Thifensulfuron methyl: Low oral toxicity. Oral LD50 (rats) = > 5,000 mg/kg. Neither thifensulfuron methyl nor tribenuron methyl are skin or eye irritants. Tribenuron methyl: Low oral toxicity. Oral LD50 (rats) = > 5,000 mg/kg. MCPA: Moderate acute toxicity. Acute oral LD50(rats) = 900 - 1,400 mg/kg. Slightly irritating to the skin and severely irritating/corrosive to the eye.

Application Information
With: Ground and aerial equipment. Water Volume: Ground: 22 L/acre (minimum). Air: 11 L/acre.
Mixing InstructionsUse mixing instructions “b” on page 13.
Application TipsHigher spray volumes are required for dense crop canopy and/or large weeds. Weeds should be less than 10 cm tall or across at application. Effectiveness of Refine SG may be reduced if it remains in the tank for more than 24 hours. Use Assert tank mixes within 12 hours.
How it WorksAbsorbed through foliage. Inhibits cell elongation.
Expected Results:Weeds: Growth stops immediately. Discolouration of dying weeds may not be noticeable for 1 - 3 weeks after application depending on growing conditions and weed species. Poor results may be expected if there is improper mixing, timing, coverage or when weeds are under drought stress.
RestrictionsRainfall: Rainfall within 1 hour of application may lessen weed control. Grazing: Barley, wheat and oats may be grazed or fed to livestock 7 days after application of Refine SG. Re-cropping: Do not plant any crop until 2 months after application. There are no restrictions on next crop year. Note: Do not exceed a total of 12 g/acre per crop year for Refine SG.
Environmental PrecautionsRefine SG is toxic to aquatic organisms and non-target terrestrial plants. Follow label buffer zones between application areas and sensitive habitat.

Crop StagingBeans (Adzuki, red and white), soybeans
Apply when 80 - 90% natural leaf defoliation and when at least 80% of the pods have turned yellow.
Canola This treatment does not mature canola. Reglone Ion is an effective desiccant aiding in the harvest of canola. Speed of pod and stem drydown will vary; however, pod and stem kill will take place 7 to 10 days after application. Apply when 90% or more of seed has turned brown; application of diquat prior to this stage can result in high levels of green seed in the sample. Reglone can cause shatter losses in canola. It should only be used on Argentine canola to assist in harvesting severely lodged crops.
Chickpeas Desi Type: Apply when the majority of plants are yellow and most pods are mature and seeds have turned from green to yellow or brown.Kabuli Type: Apply when the majority of plants and pods are ripe and dry with seeds turned from green to white or tan and detached from the pods.

Crop Staging
Flax, solin Apply when 75 percent of bolls turn brown (normal swathing time).
Fababeans Apply when the majority of plants are ripe and dry. Pods will be fully filled and the bottom pods will be tan or black in colour.
Legumes: Alfalfa, bird’s-foot trefoil, red and white clover (for seed production only)
Prior to seed harvest. To prevent seed pods from shattering and subsequent loss of seed, the interval between spraying and harvest should not exceed 7 days. Note: Do not use Reglone on forage legumes that have been treated with a residual herbicide in the past 12 months.
Lentils Apply at the time swathing would normally commence. This is when the lower-most pods are yellow-brown and seeds rattle.
Mustard (condiment type) Spray when the crop is at the 75% seed turn brown stage.
Peas (field and dry) Apply when bottom pods of the majority of the plants are ripe and dry with the seeds detached from the pods. Seeds in less mature pods will split when squeezed.
Potato – vine kill (Reglone 240 and Diquash only)
Reglone Ion contains a built in surfactant and should not be used on pototoes.
Sunflower When the seeds reach maturity (20 - 50% moisture in the seed and hull). Combine 15 - 20 days after spraying.

Application InformationHow to apply: Apply with ground equipment or by air. Water Volume: See above table. Reglone Ion has a built-in surfactant.
Application TipsGround sprayer application will facilitate the use of higher water volumes and provide more complete coverage. Aerial application may be used with aircraft fitted to apply uniform spray coverage. Muddy water will reduce effectiveness. Applications made on cloudy days or just prior to or during periods of darkness will increase effectiveness. Immature weeds may require higher application rates to increase effectiveness.
How it WorksDiquat is a contact type herbicide; therefore, thorough spray coverage with high water volumes is essential. Absorbed by all leaf and stem surfaces, non-systemic and interferes with photosynthesis.

Table of Contents
Expected ResultsWeeds: Fast and virtually complete top kill of annual weeds. Yellowing starts within a few hours of application. Desiccation of the plant will continue rapidly till death. Crops: Leaf kill will occur within a few days of application. Stem dry-down will take longer depending on the crop; however, harvesting should normally commence within 7 - 14 days. Crop losses can occur due to pod drop and pod shatter from handling and if unfavourable weather conditions occur. Warning: During adverse weather (heavy rain, hail or strong winds), the resultant damage to crops may be enhanced.
RestrictionsRainfall: No effect once the spray solution has dried. Grazing: Crop waste remaining after harvest (e.g. pea and lentil vines, alfalfa stems, etc.) may be used as a feed supplement for livestock. Pre-harvest Intervals: For most crops, harvest can normally commence within 4-10 days after desiccation. Alfalfa, bird’s-foot trefoil, red clover, white clover - to prevent pod shattering and loss of seed, the interval between spraying and harvest should not exceed 7 days. Canola/mustard - Combine no later than 14 days after application. Diquat should only be used on argentine varieties to facilitate a harvest of lodged crops. Losses can occur due to pod drop and pod shatter from handling or if unfavourable weather conditions occur as described under product information.Flax and peas - harvest when seed tests “dry.”
Environmental PrecautionsReduce chance of drift and contamination of any aquatic or sensitive terrestrial habitat by using a 15 metre buffer around the edges of water bodies.
ToxicityModerate acute toxicity. Acute oral LD50 (rats) = 886 mg/kg. Severely irritating to eyes and moderately irritating to skin. May cause burns upon contact with skin and eyes. Intake can cause kidney failure and liver damage.
StorageHeated storage is required. Store in original container, tightly closed in a safe place away from children.

* Top growth control only. ** Season long control. *** Suppression. Note: the use of the highest rate structure improves level and duration of weed control and is recommended when weed populations are dense.
Application InformationWith: Apply with ground equipment or by air. Water Volume: Ground application - 40 L/acre minimum. Aerial application requires an 8 L/acre minimum water volume.
Application TipsApplication timing is critical for weed control. For optimum weed control, target weeds must be emerged and actively growing for proper translocation and systemic weed activity. Conditions such as drought or periods of slow growth may reduce the level of efficacy.
How it WorksRestore II is a herbicide that interferes with cell division causing leaf cupping, stem distortion and eventually death of the plant. Restore II is absorbed through the leaves and roots of the plant.
Expected ResultsPerennial weeds show distorted stems and cupped leaves, which turn yellow and then brown. Usually, native grass increases in abundance as result of reduced competition. Poor results may be expected if weeds are not actively growing in late summer or as a result of environmental stress such as frost or drought.
RestrictionsRainfall: Heavy rainfall immediately after application may wash the chemical off the foliage, resulting in reduced weed control. Do not apply if rainfall is forecast for the time of application. Grazing: Do not allow lactating dairy animals to graze treated areas within 7 days of application. There is no restriction on livestock (except lactating dairy animals) grazing in treated areas. Withdraw meat animals from treated fields at least 3 days before slaughter. Pre-harvest Intervals: Do not harvest forages or cut hay within 30 days of application. Re-cropping: If legumes are essential in a pasture, do not use Restore II. Do not break up treated pasture and plant to sensitive broadleaf crops for at least 3 years after application of Restore II.

Apply only after weeds are visible and in an active stage of growth which is normally sometime in late May through June as growth is dependent on water temperatures.
For areas less than 1.5 m (5 feet) deep: 7.4 L/acre.For areas more than 1.5 m (5 feet) deep: 10 - 11.8 L/acre.Calculating area to be treated: length (m) x width (m) ÷ 10,000 m2 x 2.47 = acres.
Application InformationHow to Apply: For floating weeds, use surface application: Dilute one part Reward with at least four parts clean water and spray over water surface. Apply from the banks of small bodies of water.For submerged weeds, inject below the water surface: A suction type of boat bailer is mounted on the cavitation plate of an outboard motor and the end of the inlet tube inserted into a solution containing one part Reward diluted with at least 10 parts of clean water (a backpack sprayer may also be used). Make lines of travel at regular intervals through the water (3 m or less apart) over the area to be treated until the whole area has received a uniform application.
Application TipsDo not apply to muddy water and do not agitate water excessively during one or two days after treatment as the effectiveness of the chemical will be reduced. Use clean water for diluting the chemical. Do not use wetting agents or surfactants for water treatment. Repeat treatment may be necessary if weed growth reappears. Avoid application or drift onto crops or other desirable growth.
How it WorksReward is a contact herbicide. Thorough coverage on the weeds is essential to ensure satisfactory control. Interferes with photosynthesis.
Expected ResultsControl of susceptible weeds generally occurs within 1 - 2 weeks.
RestrictionsRainfall: None. Grazing: Do not use treated water for at least 24 hours after treatment for swimming and animal consumption. Fish Protection: To protect the fish in small lakes and ponds with a dense weed growth, treat not more than 1/4 to 1/3 of the area at one time, otherwise the dying weeds over a large area will cause a serious loss of oxygen which may injure or kill the fish. Human Consumption and Irrigation: Do not use for at least 5 days after treatment.
Environmental PrecautionsAvoid application or drift onto sensitive, non- target plants.
ToxicityModerate acute toxicity. Acute oral LD50 (rats) = 886 mg/kg. Dermal: Low acute toxicity. May cause burns upon contact with skin and eyes. Intake can cause kidney failure and liver damage.
StorageHeated storage is required.

Table of Contents
Mixing InstructionsUse mixing instructions “b” on page 13. Note, a surfactant is not required for mixes.
How it WorksRexade should be applied to actively growing weeds. Warm, moist growing conditions promote active weed growth and enhance the activity of Rexade by allowing for maximum foliar uptake and movement of the herbicide into the targeted weeds. Rexade is a mixture of auxin herbicides (Group 4) and an ALS enzyme inhibitor herbicide (Group 2). The product controls weeds by disrupting normal plant growth patterns and/or by inhibiting the production of the enzymes essential for the production of certain amino acids for plant growth.
Expected ResultsWeeds start to twist between 2 - 20 days after spraying, depending on weather conditions, rate of growth, moisture and the weeds being targeted by this herbicide application. Symptoms include twisting, bending and yellowing; weeds will turn brown, resulting in plant mortality.
RestrictionsAvoid application if rainfall is forecast within 4 hours. Grazing: Livestock may be grazed on treated crops 7 days following application. Re-entry: Do not re-enter the field for 12 hours. Pre-harvest Intervals: Do not harvest the treated crop for 60 day after application. Re-cropping: Fields can be seeded 11 months following an application of Rexade A with the following crops: spring barley, spring wheat, oats, canola, flax, brown and yellow mustard, canola quality Brassica juncea, field peas and soybean, or fields can be summerfallowed. Sunflowers can be planted 10 months and lentils 22 months after application of Rexade.
Environmental PrecautionsA 1 metre buffer zone is required between the treated area and terrestrial and water habits. Do not allow spray drift to come in contact with sensitive broadleaf crops. Spray when the wind velocity is 15 km/hr or less.
ToxicityLD50 > 3,129 mg/kg for pyroxsulam; LD50 > 5,000 mg/kg halauxifen; 2,4-D technical= 639 - 764 mg/kg.
StorageStore in the original containers in secure, dry, well ventilated storage. Store in heated storage. If product is frozen, bring to room temperature and agitate before use.

Application InformationWith: Ground application only. DO NOT apply by aircraft. Water Volume: Minimum 40L per acre. Nozzles and Pressure: Use only nozzles that produce extremely coarse or ultra-coarse droplet sizes. Refer to label for a full description of application requirements. DO NOT allow herbicide solution to mist, drip, drift or splash onto desirable vegetation because severe injury or destruction to desirable broadleaf plants could result. Apply when air temperature is between 10 and 25°C. DO NOT spray when the temperature is expected to exceed 30°C. When applying Roundup Xtend adjacent to sensitive crops, apply as a pre-plant, pre-emergent or early post-emergent treatment to avoid potential drift onto the sensitive crops. Apply to small actively growing weeds less than 10 cm (4 in.) in height or width. NOTE: The 5 L per hectare rate is to be used only once in a growing season. DO NOT exceed the maximum season total of 10 L per hectare.
RestrictionsRainfall: Within 4 hours of application may reduce control. Grazing: 7 - 10 days for soybean forage and 13 - 15 days for soybean hay. DO NOT permit lactating dairy animals to graze fields within 7 days after application. DO NOT harvest forage or cut hay within 30 days after application. Withdraw meat animals from treated fields at least 3 days before slaughter. Re-cropping: A plant-back interval of 120 days is required for those crops not on the label of Roundup Xtend with VaporGrip Technology. Do not count days when the ground is frozen. Moisture is essential for the degradation of this herbicide in soil. If dry weather persists after application, crop injury may occur the following spring.
Environmental PrecautionsBuffer zones of 15 metres are required between the area of application and aquatic and terrestrial sensitive areas. Distance is measured from the downwind edge of the boom to sensitive areas. Runoff: Avoid runoff risk under conditions of heavy rainfall, moderate to steep slope, bare soil, poorly draining soil. Leaching: This product will move with water. Avoid using in areas where soils are permeable and/or the depth to the water table is shallow.
ToxicityLow acute mammalian toxicity. Dicamba acute oral LD50 (rats) = 2,629 mg/kg. Glyphosate acute oral LD50 (rats) = 4,320 mg/kg.

Application InformationHow to Apply: By ground ONLY. Water volume: 40 L per acre.
Application TipsUse a combination of nozzles and pressure designed to deliver thorough, even coverage and a minimum of fine droplets that are prone to drift.
How it WorksSalute A herbicide is a systemic, hormone-type herbicide. It is absorbed by leaf and stem surfaces and is readily translocated. Salute B herbicide is absorbed by foliage and roots and disrupts plant metabolism, causing growth to stop. Maximum efficacy results from foliar application to young, actively growing plants.
Expected ResultsPlants susceptible to Salute A may exhibit symptoms including swollen growing points and roots, cupping of leaves, twisted and distorted stems and leaves. Plants will gradually stop growing and change colour from dark green to yellow to brown as they die. Death of plants may occur in 14 - 21 days after application. Plants susceptible to Salute B may stop growing within 24 - 48 hours. Yellowed growing points, yellow striping and purplish or reddish discolouration of the leaves may occur. Leaves begin to die in 3 - 10 days, starting with the youngest and moving to the older leaves. Death of plant may occur in 1 to 3 weeks.
RestrictionsRainfast: Within 3 hours of application. Pre-harvest Intervals: DO NOT apply within 60 days of harvesting CLEARFIELD canola. Re-cropping: The year following Salute application fields can be seeded to: canary seed, field pea*, field corn, CLEARFIELD canola and Juncea, spring wheat, barley, oats. Two years following Salute application, fields can be seeded to: canola (all types), flax, sunflower, durum wheat, lentils, chick pea. *DO NOT seed to field peas for at least 10 months following treatment. Very dry soil conditions following application can result in a risk of injury to field peas grown in rotation. If severe drought conditions are experienced during the months of June to August inclusive in the year of application (22 months following application), contact your local Dow AgroSciences representative or retailer for more information before seeding field peas following drought conditions in the previous year.
Environmental PrecautionsAvoid contamination of or drift towards non-target land, water or irrigation ditches. Leave at least 11 m between the downwind edge of the boom and sensitive areas.
ToxicityAcute oral LD50 (rats) > 5,000 mg/kg.
StorageStore in dry, heated area. DO NOT freeze.

Application InformationWith: Apply with ground equipment. Some crops are registered for use by air. Check label. Water Volume: Ground application: 22 - 91 L/acre maximum.
Mixing InstructionsUse mixing instructions “c” on page 13.
Application TipsThe use of 80° stainless steel flat fan nozzles tilted 45° forward is recommended for optimum spray coverage. Use high water volumes on dense crop canopies for better penetration to weeds. Best results will occur if applications are made to weeds not stressed by lack of moisture, excessive moisture, low temperature and/or very low relative humidity. Clethodim at 51 mL/acre should only be applied under the following conditions: good crop stand, early application (prior to tillering), light to moderate weed infestation, adequate moisture and fertility, absence of stress, good growing conditions.
How it WorksClethodim is a systemic herbicide that is translocated from the treated foliage to the growing points of leaves, shoots and roots.
Expected ResultsWeeds: Leaf foliage will first change from green to yellowish, then purplish and finally a brown colour. The time required for complete control is 7 - 21 days following treatment, depending on growing conditions and crop competition.
RestrictionsRainfall: Rainfall within one hour of application may reduce the effectiveness of the spray. Grazing: Do not cut treated crops for feed or graze until 60 days after application of clethodim to annual crops and 30 days after application to seedling alfalfa. Pre-harvest Intervals: Canola, coriander, common dry beans, caraway, chickpeas (desi, Kabuli), flax (including Solin), lentils, potatoes, and mustard (brown, yellow oriental): 60 days. Alfalfa, carrot, fenugreek, radish, red garden beet and parsnip: 30 days. Dill: 40 days Sunflower: 72 days. Field peas: 75 days.
Environmental PrecautionsClethodim is moderately to highly toxic to aquatic organisms. Avoid contamination of aquatic systems during application.
ToxicityLow oral toxicity. Acute oral LD50 (male rats) = 2,920 mg/kg.

Application InformationWith: Apply with ground sprayer. Water Volume: Post-emergence: Barley, wheat - 40 L/acre. Chickpeas, lentils, peas: 70 L/acre. Pre-plant incorporated (field peas, lentils, faba beans): 40 L/acre. Potatoes - 40 - 120 L. Note: In potatoes, higher rates of water increase crop tolerance.
Mixing InstructionsUse mixing instructions “a” on page 13.
IncorporationBe aware of soil organic matter levels when applying metribuzin either alone or with a soil incorporated mix with other herbicides. Special conditions may apply.With irrigation:Sencor + Eptam: Potatoes: pre-emergence in sprinkler irrigation. Apply specified dosage in 3 - 8 mm of water per acre on a continuous injection in centre pivot systems, or in the last 15 - 30 minutes of set in permanent solid set sprinkler system of self-propelled wheel move systems. On sandy soil, apply in 3 - 5 mm of water and use the lower rate of Sencor and Eptam. Apply pre-emergence to crop and weeds. Use the higher rate for control of grassy weeds or when broadleaf weeds are dense.
Application TipsAllow 4 - 5 days between application of metribuzin and post-emergent wild oat herbicides. Allow 4 - 5 days after frost for crop to recover before applying metribuzin. Weed control may be reduced if applied later than the 5-leaf stage of crop. Crop may be sprayed when wet with dew. When incorporated, crop must be planted at least 5 cm below soil surface. Uneven application or improper incorporation of can result in erratic weed control or crop injury depending on rate used.Stress conditions such as seedling disease, cold weather, deep planting, excessive moisture, high salt concentration, or drought may weaken seedlings and increase the possibility of crop damage from the herbicides. Temporary lightening in colour may occur on the margin of leaves or cotyledons and a slight delay in crop development may be observed. This is quickly outgrown and usually has no lasting effect.
How it WorksA systemic herbicide absorbed by leaves and roots and translocated to new growth. Inhibits photosynthesis and the weed turns brown and dies.

Expected ResultsBroadleaf weeds: Initial yellowing 5 - 7 days after application; weeds turn brown and die within 14 - 16 days. Active in soil for a short period and can control new shallow-rooted germinants, like chickweed.Crops: In extremely hot weather or when frost occurs within 1 - 2 days of application, crop will show some yellowing and slight reduction in height. Discolouration disappears in 7 - 10 days. On some barley varieties, temporary lightening in colour and reduction in height may occur. Lentils and peas provide little competition against weed growth due to their low growth habit. Under heavy weed infestations or lush growth, control may be poor.Field peas and lentils: Stressful conditions increase the possibility of damage. Temporary lightening on the margins of cotyledons and a slight delay in development may occur. Ensure 70 L/acre Water Volume is used to reduce crop injury.
RestrictionsRainfall: Rainfall within 6 hours after application may reduce weed control. Grazing: Do not graze or feed treated crop to livestock within 30 days of application (lentils, peas: 70 days). Pre-harvest Intervals: Do not harvest barley, wheat or potatoes within 60 days of application. Do not harvest lentils, chickpeas, or field peas within 70 days of application. Do not harvest processing peas or chickpeas within 40 days of application. Re-cropping: 24 months are required for crops other than potatoes if 910 mL/acre (610 g/acre) is applied on irrigated alfalfa. Canola, celery, cole crops, cucurbits, lettuce, onions, peppers, spinach, sugar beets, sunflowers, table beets and turnips may be injured if planted in soil treated with Sencor during the year of application and the following crop year. Fall seeded or cover crops such as wheat, oats, and rye may be injured when seeded in the same season as the application of metribuzin. For pre-plant applications of Sencor + Treflan or Edge, oats, sugar beets, creeping red fescue and small-seeded grasses (e.g. timothy, canary seed) should not be planted the following crop year as a precaution.
Environmental PrecautionsAvoid contamination of water bodies through the use of recommended buffer zones between treated areas and sensitive areas.
ToxicityModerate oral toxicity. Acute oral LD50 (male/female combined rats) = 1,471mg/kg. Mild skin irritant.
StorageNo damage by freezing but avoid large temperature fluctuations. Store in a cool, dry place.

Application InformationWith: Ground equipment only. Do not apply by air. Water Volume: 22 L/acre. One package treats 40 acres.Surfactant included in Signal FSU package.
Mixing InstructionsUse mixing instructions “b” on page 13.
Application TipsHigher spray volumes are required for dense crop canopy and/or large weeds. Weeds should be less than 10 cm tall or across at application. Effectiveness of Signal FSU may be reduced if it remains in the tank for more than 24 hours. Do not use flood type nozzles, controlled droplet application equipment, spray foils or hollow cone nozzles. Do not apply to crop stressed by conditions such as frost, low fertility, drought, flooding, disease or insect damage as crop injury may result.
How it WorksSignal FSU is absorbed by the foliage and rapidly translocated to the growing points. Inhibits cell elongation in broadleaf weeds. Thorough coverage of the plants is essential for consistent control.
Expected ResultsBroadleaf weed growth stops immediately. Discolouration of dying weeds may be noticeable for 1 - 3 weeks after application, depending on growing conditions and weed species. Grassy weeds - depending on the species, growing conditions and crop competition - leaves and growing points turn yellow within 1 - 3 weeks after application. Poor results may be expected if there is improper mixing, timing or coverage, or when weeds are under drought stress.
RestrictionsRainfall: Rainfall within 1 hour of application may lessen degree of weed control with Signal FSU. Grazing: Wheat may be grazed 7 days after the application of Signal FSU. Pre-harvest Intervals: Do not harvest forage or cut hay within 60 days after application. Re-cropping: Barley, canola, flax, forage grasses, lentils, mustard, oats, peas, rye or wheat or fields can be summerfallowed the year after treatment. Do not exceed a total of 8 g/acre of Boost per crop year.
Environmental PrecautionsClodinafop-propargyl is highly toxic to fish. Do not apply clodinafop-propargyl on freshwater habitats. Use a 15 metre buffer between the treated area and sensitive aquatic environments.
ToxicityAcute oral LD50 (rats) = 2,276 mg/kg.

Application InformationHow to apply: Apply with ground equipment or by air.Water Volume: 20 - 40 L/acre ground application, 12 - 20 L/acre aerial application.
Mixing InstructionsUse mixing instructions “a” on page 13. Dry formulated products are added to the spray tank first.
Application TipsOnly weeds emerged at time of application are controlled. For optimum results, apply Simplicity to actively growing seedling weeds. Weed control may be reduced if Simplicity is applied under stress conditions. Do not apply to crops that are stressed as crop injury may result. Under conditions of low crop competition and high weed density or wet foliage at time of application, control may be reduced.
How it WorksSimplicity inhibits the production of the ALS enzyme in plants. This enzyme is essential for the production of certain amino acids, which are essential for plant growth.
Expected ResultsSimplicity rapidly stops the growth of susceptible weeds. However, typical symptoms (discolouration) of dying weeds may not be noticeable for 1 - 3 weeks following application, depending on growing conditions and weed susceptibility. Degree of control and duration of symptoms depend on weed sensitivity, weed size, crop competition, growing conditions following treatment and spray coverage.
RestrictionsRainfall: Rain within 2 hours of application may reduce control. Grazing: Livestock may be grazed on treated crops 7 days following application. Pre-harvest Intervals: Do not harvest the treated crop within 60 days after application. Re-cropping: Eleven months following an application of Simplicity, the following crops can be seeded: barley, brown mustard, canola, corn, dry bean (of the species Phaseolus vulgaris), flax, canola quality Brassica juncea, lentils, oats, field peas, potatoes, chickpea, spring wheat, soybean, sunflowers and yellow mustard or summerfallowed.

Application InformationHow to Apply: Apply with ground equipment only. Do not apply by air. Water Volume: 40 L/acre.
Mixing InstructionsUse mixing instructions “d” on page 13.
Application TipsWater soluble bags will dissolve better when kept intact; do not split bags. If agitation is stopped for more than 5 minutes, re-suspend spray solution by full agitation prior to commencing spraying again. Do not spray Solo if temperatures of +5ºC or lower are forecasted within 3 days of application. Temperatures near freezing (below 5ºC) will prevent optimum herbicide performance, as weeds are not actively growing. Initial transient crop yellowing may be observed after application, but this is outgrown and should not affect yield.
How it WorksAbsorbed by foliage and roots. Disrupts plant metabolism causing growth to stop. Works best under good growing conditions.
Expected ResultsSusceptible weeds stop growing within 24 - 48 hours. Yellow striping and purplish or reddish discolouration of the leaves may occur. Leaves begin to die in 3 - 10 days starting with the youngest and moving to the older leaves. Death of the plant may occur in 1 - 3 weeks.
RestrictionsRainfall: Rainfall within 3 hours of application may reduce control. Grazing: Do not graze treated crop or cut for feed within 20 days of application. Do not graze treated sunflower plants or cut for straw; sufficient data are not available to support such use. Peas treated with Davai can be fed to livestock 30 days after application. Pre-harvest Intervals: Do not harvest the treated crop within 60 days of application. Re-cropping: Winter wheat may be seeded 3 months after application. Barley, canaryseed, all types of canola, chickpeas, CLEARFIELD lentils, field corn, sunflowers (including CLEARFIELD varieties), field peas, flax, lentils, oat, spring wheat (including durum) may be seeded the first spring after application. Condiment mustard can be seeded 2 years after treatment. The company recommends that a field bioassay (a test strip grown to maturity) be conducted the year before growing any crops other than those listed above. Contact manufacturer for additional information on recropping intervals.

Mixing InstructionsUse mixing instructions “b” on page 13. Add A first, then B.
Application TipsDo not apply to crops underseeded to legumes. Weeds hardened off by cold weather or drought stress may not be adequately controlled or suppressed and regrowth may occur. For best results, ensure adequate spray coverage of the target weeds.
How it WorksSpectrum tank mix is a combination of Group 2 and Group 4 herbicides. Group 2 herbicides inhibit the production of the ALS enzyme in plants. This enzyme is essential for the production of certain amino acids that are essential for plant growth. Group 4 herbicides are synthetic auxins, which act at multiple sites in the plant to disrupt hormone balance and protein synthesis and thereby cause a variety of plant growth abnormalities.
Expected ResultsThe weeds susceptible to florasulam will stop growing almost immediately. The weeds turn yellow or reddish. Symptoms such as yellowing and red coloration may not be noticeable for 1 - 2 weeks. Twisting of stems may also be observed on weeds sensitive to Curtail M. Warm, moist conditions, small weed size and a competitive crop will optimize weed control provided by Spectrum.
Restrictions:Rainfall: Do not apply if rainfall is expected within 6 hours. Grazing: Do not permit any Grazing within 7 days after application. Do not harvest forage or cut hay within 7 days after application. Withdraw meat animals from treated fields at least 3 days before slaughter. Pre-harvest Intervals: Do not harvest the treated crop within 60 days after application. Re-cropping: Fields previously treated with Spectrum herbicide can be seeded the following year to barley, canola, field peas, oats, or wheat, corn, flax, and mustard (brown, oriental, and yellow) or fields can be summerfallowed. Seed only those crops listed above in the year following treatment. Very dry soil conditions following application can result in a risk of injury to field peas grown in rotation. If severe drought conditions are experienced during the months of June to August inclusive in the year of application, delay seeding field peas an additional 12 months (total 22 months following application).
Environmental PrecautionsSpectrum A is highly toxic to aquatic organisms on an acute basis. It is slightly toxic to birds. A buffer zone of 30 metres is required between the application area and sensitive areas.
ToxicitySpectrum A has extremely low acute toxicity. Acute LD50 = > 5,000 mg/kg. Spectrum B (Clopyralid and MCPA) has low acute toxicity. Acute LD50 rats = > 2,000 mg/kg. MCPA has moderate acute toxicity. Acute LD50 of technical = (700 - 800 mg/kg).
StorageStore in a dry, heated storage. If products are frozen, bring to room temperature and agitate before use.

Table of Contents
Stellar and Stellar XL contain all ingredients and are registered for use with all listed grass mixes. Outshine is registered for use with florasulam and MCPA or 2,4-D and is a separate package. Consult grass mixes for registrations.
Application InformationWater Volume: Ground equipment only (40 L/acre).
Mixing InstructionsHalf fill sprayer with water and agitate. If mixing with a WDG or dry formulation, add the dry formulation to the mixture first. Add Stellar followed by the grassy herbicide tank mix partner.
How it WorksStellar/Stellar XL/Outshine is readily absorbed by weed foliage. The florasulam component inhibits the ALS enzyme in plants resulting in a rapid halt in plant growth followed by yellowing, most noticeable after 1-2 weeks. The fluroxpyr and MCPA components mimic plant growth regulators causing swelling and thickening and twisted weed growth followed by yellowing and browning, resulting in plant mortality.
Expected ResultsWeeds start to discolour and twist shortly after application. Plant growth will cease or become erratic followed by browning and plant mortality.
RestrictionsRainfall: Do not apply if rainfall is expected within 2 hours of application. Re-cropping: Fields previously treated with Stellar/Stellar XL/Outshine can be seeded the following year to barley, canola, oats, peas, or wheat or fields can be summerfallowed. Grazing: Do not cut the treated crop for hay or graze treated crop within 7 days after application. Pre-harvest Intervals: Do not harvest the treated crop within 60 days after application. Leaching: This product has potential to leach. Do not apply excessive irrigation. Buffer Zone: Use a buffer zone of 30 metres between area applied and sensitive terrestrial and aquatic habitats.
ToxicityFor Stellar/Stellar XL/Outshine, the oral LD50 for rats is > 2,000 mg/kg (males). Stellar B/MCPA ester has moderate acute toxicity. LD50 of technical = 700 - 800 mg/kg. Stellar XL LD50 for rats > 2,000 mg/kg.

* Under low wild oat populations (<75 plants/sq metre), can use a lower rate of Tandem at the low rate/acre when mixed with these products.
Application InformationWith: Apply with ground equipment or by air. Water Volume: 20 - 40 L/acre ground or 12 - 20 L for air application.
Mixing InstructionsHalf fill tank with water and agitate. Add Tandem A, then Tandem B, then any tank mix partner; add non-ionic surfactant, then finish filling tank.
Application TipsOnly weeds emerged at time of application are controlled. For optimum results, apply Tandem to actively growing seedling weeds. Weed control may be reduced if Tandem is applied under stress conditions. Do not apply to crops that are stressed as crop injury may result. Under conditions of low crop competition and high weed density or wet foliage at time of application, control may be reduced.
How it WorksTandem A inhibits the production of the ALS enzyme in plants. This enzyme is essential for the production of certain amino acids, which are essential for plant growth. Tandem B is a plant growth regulator, which will cause twisting, bending and erratic growth of susceptible weeds.
Expected ResultsTandem rapidly stops the growth of susceptible weeds. However, typical symptoms (discolouration) of dying weeds may not be noticeable for 1 - 3 weeks following application, depending on growing conditions and weed susceptibility. Degree of control and duration of symptoms depend on weed sensitivity, weed size, crop competition, growing conditions following treatment and spray coverage.

Application InformationWith: Apply with ground sprayers or by air. Water Volume: Ground application: 40 L/acre. Aerial application: 12 L/acre (minimum).
Application TipsIn winter wheat, spray winter annuals as soon as growth begins in spring. Use the 600 mL/acre rate when weeds are not actively growing due to extended periods of hot and dry, or cold and wet, weather prior to or following application or when weeds are beyond the 3-leaf stage or for heavy weed infestation. Do not let contents stand for long periods in the tank. Agitate every 8 hours.
How it WorksA combination of 3 systemic hormonal herbicides that accumulate in the growing point of susceptible plants, produce abnormal growth and disrupt the transport system in plants.
Expected ResultsWeeds: Can take up to 7 - 14 days depending on weather and growing conditions. Leaves curl, leaf edges turn brown, petioles twist, plant ceases growth and turns brown and dies.Crop: Improper or untimely application can result in abnormal bending at the nodes of grain stalks, difficulty in head emergence from sheath, curled awns, malformed kernels and sterile florets. Under certain conditions, straw shortening may occur but yield will not be affected. Poor results may be expected if there is poor coverage, or weeds are too advanced.
RestrictionsRainfall: Rainfall within 3 hours will reduce activity. Grazing: Do not graze within 7 days of application, and do not cut for forage or hay within 30 days. Pre-harvest Intervals: Leave at least 60 days from application to harvest. Re-cropping: Cereal and broadleaf crops can be grown the year following application.
Environmental PrecautionsTarget/Sword/Tracker XP are toxic to aquatic organisms and non-target terrestrial plants. Use a 1 m buffer from aquatic and 5 m buffer from sensitive terrestrial habitats.

Application TipsDo not treat cereals underseeded with forages. For best results, spray when weeds are in the seedling stage and actively growing. Application before the 4 leaf stage may injure the crop.
How it WorksBromoxynil is a contact type herbicide; therefore, good spray coverage is essential. Inhibits photosynthesis and plant respiration. 2,4-D is a hormone type herbicide which causes abnormal growth, affects respiration, food reserves and cell division in broadleaf plants. Absorbed primarily by leaves and stems and translocated to the growing tips and roots.
Expected ResultsSmall burn spots on the leaf can appear within hours; death takes up to 2 weeks.
RestrictionsRainfall: Rainfall within 2 hours of application may reduce weed control. Grazing: Do not graze or harvest for greenfeed until 30 days after treatment. Withdraw meat animals 3 days before slaughter. Pre-harvest Intervals: Do not harvest within 30 days of application. Re-cropping: There are no re-cropping restrictions the year after application.
Environmental PrecautionsBromoxynil + 2,4-D is toxic to small mammals, birds, aquatic organisms including fish and non-target terrestrial plants. Avoid contamination of sensitive areas by using appropriate buffer zones.
ToxicityHigh acute toxicity. Acute oral LD50 (rats) = 361 mg/kg. Slightly to moderately toxic by contact. Moderately irritating to skin and severely irritating to eyes.
StorageDoes not require heated storage.

Rapid fluctuations in temperature will stress the crop (greater than 20°C difference within 24 to 36 hours). Allow 48 to 72 hours for the crop to acclimatize before spraying if severe temperature fluctuations occur. Crop injury may result if applications are made when potatoes are stressed. If potatoes have been injured by frost, wait 48 to 72 hours after normal growing conditions have resumed before applying.
How it WorksPrism SG is absorbed through the foliage and inhibits cell elongation. TriCor is a systemic herbicide absorbed by the leaves and roots and translocated to new growth. TriCor inhibits photosynthesis and the weeds turn brown and die.
Expected ResultsTitus Pro herbicide rapidly stops growth of susceptible species; typical symptoms usually appear within 5 - 7 days, but may not be noticeable for 2 - 3 weeks after application. Warm, moist conditions following application promote the activity of Prism, while cool and/or dry conditions may reduce or delay activity. Poor results may be expected if improper mixing, timing, coverage or when weeds are under stress.
RestrictionsRainfall: Rainfall within 6 hours of application may reduce weed control. Grazing Restrictions: Do not graze the treated crops or cut for hay; sufficient data is not available to support such use. Pre-harvest Intervals: 60 days. Make only one application per year. Re-cropping: TriCor 75 DF may injure the following rotational crops:• Rotation crops such as canola, onions, celery, peppers, cole crops, lettuce and spinach, table beets and turnips,
pumpkin and squash, cucumbers and melons are sensitive to TriCor 75 DF and may be injured if planted in soil treated with TriCor 75 DF during the year of application or the following crop year.
• Fall seeded or cover crops such as wheat, oats and rye may be injured when seeded within the same season as the application of TriCor 75 DF.
For all other crops, a field bioassay is recommended before planting.
Environmental PrecautionsTitus Pro herbicide is toxic to aquatic organisms and non-target terrestrial plants. Observe buffer zones specified on the label.
ToxicityModerate oral toxicity. Acute oral LD50 (rats) = 1,471 mg/kg.
StorageStore in a cool, dry, well ventilated room. May be frozen.

Application InformationWith: Apply with ground sprayers, backpack sprayers or handgun. See label for application information for a backpack sprayer. Water Volume: 160 - 324 L/acre.
Application TipsTordon 22K used as a spot treatment in a crop. No spot treatment should exceed 1 acre, and the total area treated in any 1 field in a year should not exceed 5% of the field. Tordon 22K is persistent. It will carry over in soil. Treated soil should not be moved out of the treated area. Tordon 22K is very difficult to clean from sprayers. Use a different sprayer for applying other materials to desirable plants or crops. Handguns equipped with proportioning devices and reservoirs for Tordon 22K are useful in preventing sprayer contamination.
How it WorksInterferes with cell division, causing leaf cupping, stem distortion and eventual death of plant. Tordon 22K is absorbed through leaves and roots.
Expected ResultsTordon 22K: Perennial weeds show distorted stems and cupped leaves, which turn yellow and then brown. Usually native grass increases in abundance as a result of reduced competition.

RestrictionsRainfall: Heavy rainfall shortly after application may cause poor results. Grazing: Do not graze treated area by dairy animals within 6 weeks after treatment. Clippings from grass or crops which have been treated with Tordon 22K should not be used for composting or mulching, nor should the manure from animals grazing treated areas or fed treated forage be used around susceptible plants. Re-cropping: Picloram may persist in the soil for a period of up to five years; therefore, it should not be used in those areas where sensitive broadleaved crops such as sunflowers and potatoes are grown in the rotations. Where wheat, oats or barley are the major crops in the rotations, it is recommended oats are grown in the first year, oat or barley the second year, then oats, barley or wheat the third year after treatment.
Environmental PrecautionsBuffer zones are 1 metre for aquatic habitats and 120 metres for sensitive terrestrial habitats. Tordon 22k is moderately toxic to fish. Do not apply to any water bodies or in areas where the runoff from treated areas will reach fish-bearing waters. Leaching: Picloram is highly mobile in the soil and will readily move with water. Do not apply to soils that are very permeable.
ToxicityLow oral toxicity. Acute oral LD50 (rats) = > 5,000 mg/kg. Low dermal toxicity.
StorageStore in a cool, dry place. Do not freeze. If freezing occurs, bring to room temperature and mix thoroughly.

Application InformationHow to Apply: With ground or aerial equipment. Water volume: Ground, minimum 22 L/acre. Aerial, 10 L/acre.
Application TipsOptimal herbicide activity requires an actively growing crop and weeds. Best temperature for application is between 12°C and 24°C. Travallas works through maximum foliar uptake and contact activity. Frost three days before or after application may reduce weed control and crop tolerance. Consult label for mixing instructions. Shake well before using.
How it WorksTravallas is a mix of three active ingredients from two modes of action. The thifensulfuron and metsulfuron methyls are absorbed by foliage and roots, translocating throughout the plants and concentrating in areas of rapid growth. There, they inhibit cell division. Fluroxypyr is a Group 4 herbicide, an artificial plant hormone, that disrupts normal growth, causing plant twisting and eventual death.
Expected ResultsGrowth stops immediately. Discoloration of dying weeds may not be noticeable for 1 to 3 weeks after application, depending on growing conditions and weed species. Poor results may be expected if there is improper mixing, timing, coverage or when weeds are under drought stress.

Application InformationWater Volume: Ground: 20 - 40 L/acre. Aerial: 12 L/acre.
Mixing InstructionsHalf fill tank with water using continuous agitation. Add tank mix partner, then add Traxos. Agitate for several minutes between application of herbicides.
Application TipsWhen tank mixing Traxos herbicide with a tank mix partner, ensure you read the tank mix partner label for minimum water recommendations. For optimum control, apply Traxos herbicide to actively growing weeds, ideally at the 2-3 leaf stage. An early application will maximize crop yields by reducing weed competition. Weeds emerging after application of Traxos herbicide will not be controlled.Weed control under stress conditions can be reduced or delayed. Do not apply to crop that is stressed by conditions such as frost, low fertility, drought, flooding, disease or insect damage as crop injury may result.
How it WorksTraxos herbicide is absorbed by the leaves and is rapidly translocated to the growing points of leaves and stems. Thorough coverage of the plants is essential for consistent control.
Expected ResultsActively growing susceptible grasses stop growing within 48 hours of treatment. Depending on species, growing conditions and crop competition, leaves and growing points turn yellow within one to three weeks after application. Further colour changes and loss of vigour will be observed, followed by a browning and complete control three to five weeks after application. Temporary crop injury may occur with tank mixes under extreme weather conditions or when the crop is suffering from stress due to inadequate or abnormally high moisture levels or extreme temperatures.
RestrictionsRainfall: Traxos herbicide alone can be used one hour before rainfall. Grazing: Observe a minimum of 7 days before grazing livestock. Pre-harvest Intervals: 60 days after treatment for grain and straw and 30 days after for hay. Re-cropping Restrictions: There are no crop limitations the year following application of Traxos.
Environmental PrecautionsThis product is toxic to aquatic organisms and non-target terrestrial plants. Leave a 1 metre buffer between treated area and sensitive vegetation and aquatic habitats.
ToxicityLow toxicity. Pinoxaden: Acute oral LD50 (rats) = 3,129 mg/kg. Clodinafop-propargyl: Acute oral LD50 (rats) = 2,276 mg/kg.

Application TipsApplication before the 4 leaf stage of wheat may cause severe twisting of leaves and stem and head deformities, which may reduce yield up to 10%. Do not apply later than the flag leaf stag. Maximum one application per year.
How it WorksActively growing susceptible grasses stop growing within 48 hours of treatment. Depending on species, growing conditions and crop competition, leaves and growing points turn yellow within one to two weeks of application.
Expected ResultsDepending on species, growing conditions and crop competition, leaves and growing points turn yellow within one to two weeks of application. Further colour changes and loss of vigour will be observed, followed by browning and complete control within three to five weeks. The TraxosTwo Broadleaf Component is influenced by weather conditions. Optimum activity requires active crop and weed growth. The temperature range for optimum activity is 12 - 24°C. Reduced activity will occur when temperatures are below 8°C or above 27°C. Frost before an application (3 days) or shortly after may reduce weed control and crop tolerance. Weed control may be reduced during stress conditions, e.g. drought, heat or cold stress, or if weeds have initiated flowering or if heavy infestation exists.
RestrictionsDo not apply on barley or any crop other than spring wheat or durum, as crop damage will result. Do not allow spray to drift to adjacent fields seeded to crops other than spring wheat or durum wheat. Do not treat wheat underseeded to forage. Rainfall: Do not apply within 2 hours of rainfall. Grazing: Do not permit lactating dairy/beef animals to fields within 7 days of application. Do not harvest for grain or straw until 60 days after application. Withdraw meat animals from fields at least 3 days before slaughter. Re-cropping: Fields treated with TraxosTwo can be replanted to wheat, barley, oats, triticale, alfalfa, edible beans, canola, lentils, peas, potatoes, soybeans, sugar beets and sunflowers.
Environmental PrecautionsToxic to aquatic organisms, birds, small wild mammals and non-target terrestrial plants. Buffer zones: Field sprayer: 1 metre for fresh water, estuarine/marine habitats and terrestrial habitats. Aerial: 5 metres for fixed wing and 2 metres for rotary wing for fresh water, and 1 metre for estuarine/marine habitats; 50 metres for fixed wing and 45 metres for rotary wing for terrestrial habitats.

Spring Application: Trifluralin can be applied immediately prior to planting or up to three weeks before planting.Summer Application: Trifluralin can be applied to summerfallow between June 1 and September 1 for weed control in canola or flax the following year. Apply the summer rate and incorporate (see Incorporation section). Not recommended for sand and sandy loam soils. Trifluralin must be incorporated at least twice with the implement operated in two different directions. The initial incorporation must be done within 24 hours after application. The second incorporation (and subsequent incorporations) may be done whenever necessary to destroy resistant weed growth during the remainder of the fallow season. Shallow tillage (5 to 8 cm) is necessary in the spring prior to planting.Summerfallow: Treflan MicroActiv/Bonanza 10G/Rival 10G can also be applied to summerfallow in May, June or July for weed control during both years of a fallow-wheat rotation or in the fall (September - prior to soil freeze-up) prior to spring and durum wheat seeding.

IncorporationSummerfallow: Fall (Sept 1 - soil freeze up): Granular formulations must be incorporated at least twice with the implement operated in two different directions. The first incorporation should be in the same direction as application, within 24 hours of application. Second at the right angle to the first and should be delayed a minimum of 3 - 5 days. For best results, perform both incorporations in the fall followed by tillage (5 to 8 cm) in the spring prior to planting.Summer (May to July): The initial incorporation must be done within 24 hours of application. The second incorporation (and subsequent incorporations) may be done whenever necessary to destroy resistant weed growth during the remainder of the summerfallow. Fall applied liquids: All liquid formulations must be incorporated at least twice with the implement operated in two different directions. The initial incorporation must be done within 24 hours after application. The second incorporation (and subsequent incorporations) may be done whenever necessary to destroy resistant weed growth during the remainder of the fallow season. Shallow tillage (5 to 8 cm) is necessary in the spring prior to planting.Fall applied granules in wheat and barley: Granules can be applied in the fall between September 1 and prior to soil freeze-up for the control of green foxtail in the following year. Granules should be applied to standing stubble or pre-worked stubble. The initial incorporation must be done within 24 hours of application. For best results, it is recommended to do both incorporations in the fall followed by tillage (5 to 8 cm) in the spring prior to planting. Caution: Fall application is not recommended in situations where lack of trash cover combined with required incorporation would leave the soil exposed to erosion. Spring granules (in year of seeding): Granular formulations: incorporate twice in cross directions using a tandem disc, tandem disc, discer or field (vibrashank type) cultivator set to work 8 to 10 cm for the first incorporation. The first incorporation should be done as soon as possible after application, but can be delayed up to 24 hours. The second incorporation can be delayed for at least 3 - 5 days following the first incorporation. This allows time for greater release of granular trifluralin onto soil particles and assures more uniform distribution in soil.Spring liquid formulations in canola and specialty crops: (in year of seeding) must be incorporated at least twice with the implement operated in two different directions. The initial incorporation must be done within 24 hours after application. The second incorporation should be a discing or cultivation in a cross direction at the same depth any time prior to planting. Shallow tillage (5 to 8 cm) is necessary in the spring prior to planting. Spring liquid formulations in wheat and barley: Liquid formulations must be applied after seeding and shallowly (2 - 4 cm), incorporated with tyne or diamond tooth harrows into trash-free soil, operating at a minimum speed of 9 km/hr. The first incorporation should be performed in the same direction of application. The second incorporation should be performed at the right angle to the first. Both incorporations should be done within 24 hrs of application.
Application TipsDo not apply on soils that are wet, in poor tilth and contain 15% or more organic matter. Do not apply on soils with less than 2% organic matter. Application to severely eroded knolls is not recommended.Do not apply to fields spread with manure during past 12 months. Do not apply to soils that are subjected to long-term flooding. Do not apply granular formulation on stubble in the fall for wheat when the crop harvested in the current calendar year was treated with trifluralin-based products. This includes applications made in the previous summer or fall. Seed into a firm, moist, weed-free seedbed using a double disc press drill or hoe drill set to seed 3 to 6 cm deep. If a discer or air seeder is used for seeding, separate spring tillage may not be necessary. However, care must be exercised such that the discer or air seeder is set to uniformly place the seed 3 to 6 cm deep and the

seedbed should be firmly packed or harrowed after seeding to promote good germination. Wheat: Avoid deep seeding, loose seedbeds and seeding into cold soils. When seeding semi-dwarf wheat, special care should be taken to ensure shallow seeding. Apply only on trash-free or summerfallow fields. Flax and Lentils: Shallowly till and pack the soil in the spring to ensure a firm seedbed and accurate depth of seeding. Seed into well-packed and moist seedbed. Do not seed deeper than 4 cm.
How it WorksKills weed seedlings as they germinate. Inhibits cell division in the actively growing points of roots ands shoots.
Expected ResultsMost weeds die before emerging. Weeds will exhibit swelling at the coleoptile region, stubby thick primary root development and lack of secondary roots, which leads to death due to inadequate moisture absorbing ability.
RestrictionsRainfall: No effect once trifluralin is incorporated into the soil. Cropping Restrictions: Oats, sugar beets and small-seeded grasses such as timothy, canaryseed grass and creeping red fescue should not be grown in rotation following a crop treated with trifluralin based products. Do not seed wheat as a rotational crop if trifluralin and/or ethalfluralin have been used at an oilseed/special crop/barley rate for two consecutive crops. Do not direct seed (zero till) a rotational crop into standing stubble on land that has been treated with trifluralin or ethalfluralin for the previous crop. Grazing Restrictions: Do not graze the treated crop or cut for hay; there is not sufficient data to support such use.
Environmental PrecautionsTrifluralin is considered non-toxic to bees. Trifluralin is considered highly toxic to aquatic organisms on an acute basis, and essentially non-toxic to birds. Trifluralin is absorbed by the soil and is resistant to leaching.
ToxicityVery low acute mammalian toxicity. Acute oral LD50 (rats) - technical 10,000 mg/kg body weight.
StorageGranular formulations must be stored in a cool, dry location, out of sunlight. Do not store Rival EC below 5°C. Do not freeze Treflan Liquid EC and Bonanza EC formulations.

Application InformationWith: Apply with ground equipment only. Do not apply by air. Water Volume: 40 L/acre.
Mixing InstructionsHalf fill tank with water, agitate continually, add Trophy A, then Trophy B, then complete filling with water.
Application TipsSpray under optimal conditions, which includes temperatures ranging from 12°C to 24°C. Reduced activity will occur with temperatures below 8°C or above 27°C. Frost shortly before application or shortly after application may reduce weed control and crop tolerance. Weed control may be reduced during stress conditions. Wet foliage at time of application may result in reduced weed control. Application on cleavers can be made up to 6 whorl (20 cm height) stage. Do not apply to wheat and barley underseeded to legumes. Make only one application per year. Application prior to 3 leaf stage of wheat and barley may cause severe twisting of leaves and leaf stem and head deformities, which may reduce yield. Do not apply later than flag leaf stage of crop.
How it WorksTrophy/Rush M herbicide tank mix is non-residual. The components of Trophy/Rush M tank mix move within the plant to control exposed and underground plant tissue. It mimics naturally occurring plant hormones and controls weeds by disrupting normal plant growth patterns. Symptoms include twisting of stems and swollen nodes.
Expected ResultsWeeds start to twist shortly after spraying. After twisting and bending, plants stop growing, turn brown and die.
RestrictionsRainfall: Do not apply if rain is expected in 1 hour. Grazing: Do not permit any grazing or cut for hay within 7 days after application. Withdraw meat animals from treated fields at least 3 days before slaughter. Pre-harvest Intervals: Do not harvest the treated crop within 60 days after application. Re-cropping: Fields previously treated with Trophy/Rush M herbicide tank mix can be seeded the following year to wheat, barley, oats, rye forage grasses, flax, lentils, peas, canola and mustard, or summerfallow. Do not seed crops other than those listed above for at least one year following treatment.
Environmental PrecautionsTrophy/Rush M is moderately to highly toxic to aquatic organisms. Avoid contamination of aquatic systems during application.
ToxicityMCPA has moderate acute mammalian toxicity. Acute oral LD50 (rats) = technical 700 - 880 mg/kg. Fluroxypyr has very low mammalian toxicity. Acute oral LD50 = > 2,000 mg/kg.
StorageStore in a dry, heated area. If product is frozen, bring to room temperature and agitate before use.

Application TipsTruvist herbicide controls susceptible annual weeds by both foliar and root uptake. Best control of emerged annual weeds is obtained when weeds are actively growing, typically June-July. Warm, moist growing conditions promote active weed growth and enhance the activity of Truvist. Weeds stressed by moisture or temperature extremes may be less susceptible, and incomplete weed kill may result. Residual control of weeds germinating after spray application is achieved when Truvist is carried into the root zone by rainfall. For best results, sufficient rainfall to move Truvist 5 to 7 cm deep into the soil is required after application, before weeds develop an established root system and grow beyond the seedling stage.
How it WorksThe most noticeable symptom is a bending and twisting of stems and leaves. Other advanced symptoms include severe necrosis, stem thickening, growth stunting, leaf crinkling, calloused stems and leaf veins, leaf cupping and enlarged roots. Death of treated broadleaf plants may require several more weeks and up to several months for some woody plant species.
RestrictionsDo not graze or feed forage, hay or straw from treated areas to livestock. Do not use plant material treated with this product for mulch or compost. Avoid application of this product in areas where the roots of desirable trees and/or shrubs may extend unless injury or loss can be tolerated. Do not use on lawns or turf. If non-crop sites treated with Truvist are to be converted to a food, feed, or fiber agricultural crop, or to a horticultural crop, a field bioassay should be completed before planting the desired crop. Caution is advised when using this product in areas where loss of desirable conifer or deciduous trees and/or shrubs as well as other broadleaf plants, including but not limited to, legumes and wild flowers, cannot be tolerated. Low rates of DuPont Truvist Herbicide can kill or severely injure most crops. Follow the sprayer cleanup section to avoid potential crop damage.
Environmental PrecautionsObserve buffer zones specified under DIRECTIONS FOR USE on the Truvist label.
ToxicityAcute oral LD50 (rats) = > 5,000 mg/kg. TOXIC to aquatic organisms and non-target terrestrial plants including coniferous and deciduous trees.

Temporary crop injury may be observed when AMS is included for enhanced broadleaf weed control.
Bayer CropScience supports the following mixes that are not on the Tundra label. These are MCPA ester, Lontrel, Decis and Sevin XLR, all on spring and durum wheat and barley; Tilt on spring wheat and barley. Apply mixes according to the most restrictive use limitations for either product.
Application InformationHow to Apply: Ground and air. Apply only once per season. Water Volume: 19 L/acre ground, 11.3L/acre air.
Mixing InstructionsFill the spray tank ¼ to ½ full with clean water and begin agitation. If mixing with AMS, add to the tank first. Add the appropriate amount of Tundra herbicide. Fill the spray tank with the balance of water required. Maintain sufficient agitation throughout mixing and application.
Application TipsUse higher water volumes under conditions of heavy crop or weed canopies. For best results apply to young, actively growing weeds. Under cool, dry conditions, activity may be reduced or delayed. Activity may be affected if weeds are dust covered or covered in heavy dew, mist or rain. Do not apply to a stressed crop but apply after plants resume normal growth.
How it WorksTundra is composed of 3 herbicides active ingredients, fenoxaprop-p-ethyl, bromoxynil and pyrasulfotole. Fenoxaprop-p-ethyl works by contact and systemically. It moves to the roots and shoots and kills the growing point. Pyrasulfatole is also systemic, inhibiting plant pigment formation and photosynthesis. Bromoxynil is a contact herbicide, inhibiting respiration and photosynthesis.
Expected ResultsTypical symptoms include broadleaf weeds turning brown and dying within 3 - 5 days, reduced grassy leaf growth and chlorotic blotching within 3 days of application followed by leaf chlorosis and complete death by 2 - 3 weeks and leaf bleaching .

Mixing InstructionsUse mixing instructions “b” on page 13.
Application TipsApplications should be made 5 - 10 days apart or as weeds germinate. Weeds should be actively growing and not under stress. For best results, apply to small, emerged weeds between the cotyledon and 4 true leaf stage at approximately 5 cm tall or across. Applications made to larger weeds or to weeds under stress may result in unsatisfactory control. Since UpBeet has little or no soil activity, only weeds that have emerged above the soil surface will be controlled. Use sequential tank mix applications to control new weed flushes. Timely cultivation(s) can be used in addition to UpBeet tank mixes for optimum weed control in a sugar beet management program. Dry, dusty field conditions may reduce weed control in wheel track areas. Higher water volumes may improve control in these conditions.
How it WorksAbsorbed through foliage. Inhibits cell elongation.
Expected ResultsUpBeet herbicide rapidly stops the growth of susceptible weeds; weeds turn yellow usually 7 - 21 days after post-emergent application, followed by the death of the growing plant. Cool and/or dry conditions may reduce or delay herbicidal activity. Large weeds or weeds stressed due to frost, drought or water-saturated soil, disease or insect damage may not be controlled adequately.
RestrictionsRainfall: Avoid application when heavy rain is forecast. Re-entry: 12 hours. Grazing: No restrictions on grazing or feeding of crop residue to livestock. Pre-harvest Intervals: Do not apply within 60 days of harvest. Cropping Restrictions: Do not harvest within 60 days of treatment. In case of crop failure, only sugar beets may be replanted 30 days after application of UpBeet. However, if a total of 100 g/ha of UpBeet has already been applied to the first crop of sugar beets, then no more UpBeet may be applied to the second crop of sugar beets. Cereal crops (spring wheat, durum wheat, winter wheat, barley) may be planted the following year after application of UpBeet. For all other crops, a field bioassay must be conducted. Avoid application when heavy rain is forecast.
Environmental PrecautionsToxic to aquatic organisms and non-target terrestrial plants. Leave a 1 metre buffer around freshwater habitats and 3 metres near sensitive land habitats.
ToxicityVery low toxicity by ingestion. Acute oral LD50 (rats) = > 5,000 mg/kg. Low toxicity by inhalation.

Application InformationHow to Apply: Ground equipment only. Use 50 mesh screens. Water volume: 40 L/acre.
Application TipsSignificant crop injury may occur from applications made to poorly drained soils and/or applications made under cool, wet conditions. Severe crop injury will result when soils are flooded following applications of Chateau or Valtera WDG. Treated soil that is splashed onto newly emerged crops may result in temporary crop injury.Valtera should be tank mixed with glyphosate and/or other tank mix partners to control any emerged weeds at the time of application. Glyphosate can also be tank mixed with Valtera and Nufram Enhance for desiccation applications. Moisture is necessary to activate Valtera/Chateau in soil for residual weed control. Dry weather following applications of Valtera/Chateau may reduce effectiveness. However, when adequate moisture is received after dry conditions, Chateau/Valtera WDG will control susceptible germinating weeds listed on this label. Chateau/Valtera WDG may not control weeds that germinate after application but before an activating rainfall/irrigation or weeds that germinate through cracks resulting from dry soil.
How it WorksFlumioxazin is a Group 14 herbicide. Flumioxazin controls weeds by inhibiting protoporphyrinogen oxidase, an essential enzyme required by plants for chlorophyll biosynthesis. Seedling weeds are controlled pre-emergence when exposed to sunlight following contact with the soil applied herbicide. Pre-emergence weed control with Chateau WDG is most effective when applied to clean, weed-free soil surfaces. Disturbing soil surfaces after application may reduce herbicide efficacy.
Expected ResultsWill prevent growth of susceptible weeds.

Restrictions Mechanical incorporation into the soil or disturbance of the soil surface will reduce weed control. Do not apply more than 43 g/acre Chateau WDG during a single growing season with potatoes. Use appropriate water volumes to ensure good spray coverage. Chateau WDG may be applied to potatoes after hilling for the pre-emergence suppression of labelled weeds. A minimum of 5 cm of soil must cover the vegetative portion of the potato plant at the time of Chateau WDG application. Application to potatoes with less than 5 cm of soil covering the vegetative portion of the potato may result in unacceptable crop injury. Suppression of the weeds that emerge post-hilling will not be achieved if applications are made prior to hilling. Crop injury may occur if Chateau WDG is applied at hilling. Re-cropping: Soybean, field corn, spring wheat, chickpea and field pea - immediately; winter wheat - 4 months; lentils - 6 months; sunflower and dry beans - 9 months; canola, alfalfa, barley - 11 months: other crops* - 12 months. * Consult Valtera label or Nufarm Agriculture for other crops not listed.

Apply to actively growing weeds between May and July at following rates: Vanquish/VMD 480: 0.5 - 1.0 L/acre + glyphosate (356 g/L formulation): 0.3 - 0.4 L/acre or Vanquish/VMD 480: 121 mL/acre + 2,4-D amine 500: 485 mL/acre + glyphosate (356 g/L formulation): 0.3 - 0.4 L/acre.
Application InformationHow to Apply: Apply with ground equipment or by air. Water Volume: Ground: Turf weeds: 45 L/acre; Weeds: 45 - 90 L/acre; Brush: rate/1,000 L of water. Aircraft: 35 L/acre minimum.
Application TipsThorough coverage of weed and wetting brush to the point of runoff are essential for control. Brush and trees over 2 metres should be cut and regrowth sprayed. Do not use on bentgrass. Do not rake, mow or water turf within 24 hours after treatment. 2,4-D ester tank mix may improve brush control, especially under drought stress. Tank mix with 2,4-D (amine or ester) for control of a broader range of weeds. Avoid spraying if temperatures exceed 30°C, to reduce risk of vapour drift. Avoid spraying onto soil over root system of desirable trees and shrubs. Thoroughly clean application equipment after use.
How it WorksDicamba is a systemic herbicide absorbed through roots or leaves and translocated in most plants. Disrupts the metabolic and growth activities in the plant.
Expected ResultsExcellent control of brush can be expected within a year of application. Effect on broadleaf weeds may be seen in 10 - 14 days with twisting and bending of main stem, cupping of leaves, increase in root size and increase in fibrous roots.
RestrictionsRainfall: Rainfall 4 hours after application will not reduce effectiveness. Grazing: Do not permit lactating dairy animals to graze fields within 7 days after application. Do not harvest forage or cut hay within 30 days after application. Withdraw meat animals from treated fields at least 3 days before slaughter.
Environmental PrecautionsVanquish is toxic to aquatic organisms and non-target terrestrial plants.
ToxicitySlightly toxic by ingestion. Acute oral LD50 (rats) = > 3,512 mg/kg. Slightly toxic by contact.
StorageHeated storage not required. Freezing may cause crystalization but no activity is lost if completely resuspended.

RateVarro: 0.2 L/acre
Application InformationHow to Apply: Apply with ground equipment or by air. Water Volume: Ground: minimum of 18.9 L/acre. Air: minimum of 11.3 L/acre.
Application TipsUnder drought conditions, do not apply if there is > 35 days between seeding and spraying, as drought hastens crop development. Do not apply to crop that is under stress due to abnormal environmental conditions such as frost, extreme heat, low fertility, drought, flooding or disease and/or insect damage as crop injury may result. Do not spray Varro three days prior to or following cold temperatures (3°C or lower) Do not apply to crops underseeded to legumes. Apply only once per season.Do not use Varro if another Group 2 grass herbicide has been previously applied in the same season. For best results, apply to emerged, young, actively growing weeds. Weed control may also be reduced if application is made when weeds are dust covered or in the presence of heavy dew, fog or mist/rain.
How it WorksVarro: Thiencarbazone-methyl: Uptake is primarily via foliage and is transported to areas on new shoot growth where it inhibits the enzyme acetolactate synthase (ALS). Inhibition of this enzyme prevents protein production, which leads to gradual death of target weeds.

Application TipsUnder DROUGHT conditions - Do not spray Velocity M3 if time between seeding and spraying exceeds 35 days as (drought hastens crop development). Do not spray Velocity M3 three days prior to or following cold temperatures (3°C or lower) Do not apply to crops underseeded to legumes. Do not use Velocity m3 if another Group 2 grass herbicide has been previously applied in the same season. For best results, apply to emerged, young, actively growing weeds. Weed control may also be reduced if application is made when weeds are dust covered or in the presence of heavy dew, fog or mist/rain. Do not apply to crop that is under stress due to abnormal environmental conditions such as frost, extreme heat, low fertility, drought, flooding or disease and/or insect damage as crop injury may result. Apply only once per season.
How it WorksThiencarbazone-methyl: Uptake is primarily via foliage and is transported to areas on new shoot growth where it inhibits the enzyme acetolactate synthase (ALS). Inhibition of this enzyme prevents protein production, which leads to gradual death of target weeds.Pyrasulfotole: Absorbed through leaves and is translocated to meristematic regions where it inhibits the HPPD enzyme. Pyrasulfotole inhibits plant pigment biosynthesis and photosynthesis. Bromoxynil: Works on contact, interfering with photosynthesis, disrupting plant growth, which ultimately leads to the plant’s death.
Expected ResultsGrass weeds: Growth of susceptible plants stops rapidly, and after a few days plants, develop chlorotic discolouration on the leaves, which sometimes turn red. Complete control may take two to four weeks.Broadleaf weeds: Small burnt spots on leaf can appear in hours. Lack of plant pigments shuts down the photosynthetic pathway resulting in bleaching symptoms and rapid death, normally in 6 - 14 days.

Table of Contents
Application TipsDo not apply to frozen soils or soils with less than 1% soil organic matter. Do not use on fields that will be seeded to other crops within 24 months of application. Do not apply to slopes as soil erosion may occur. Best results are obtained when Velpar is present in the root zone during active growth of the target vegetation. Symptoms usually appear in herbaceous plants within 2 weeks after application under warm, humid conditions, while 4 to 6 weeks may be required when weather is cool. If rainfall after application is inadequate to activate Velpar in the soil, plants may recover from contact effects and continue to grow until sufficient rainfall moves Velpar into the root zone.
How it WorksA systemic herbicide readily absorbed through the roots and foliage and translocated upwards. Inhibits photosynthesis.
RestrictionsRainfall: Rainfall is beneficial for activation of product. Grazing: Do not apply within 30 days of harvest (cutting for hay) or feeding of forage or grazing. Re-cropping: Information enabling specific recommendations for rotational crops and re-cropping intervals is limited. Do not seed any crop following alfalfa that has been treated with Velpar L herbicide until a successful field bioassay shows that the crop in question may be grown safely. A successful field bioassay means growing to maturity a test strip of the crop across the field.
Environmental PrecautionsApply with a 1 metre buffer between aquatic habitats and a 5 metre buffer between sensitive terrestrial habitats and the treated area.
ToxicityLow acute mammalian toxicity. Acute oral LD50 (rats) = technical 1,690 mg/kg. May cause some eye irritation. Slightly toxic to fish.

Application InformationHow to Apply: Apply with ground equipment only. Do not apply by air. Water Volume: 40 L/acre.
Mixing InstructionsUse mixing instructions “b” on page 13.
Application TipsIf agitation is stopped for more than 5 minutes, re-suspend spray solution by full agitation prior to commencing spraying again. Do not spray Viper ADV if temperatures of +5oC or lower are forecasted within 3 days of application. Cold temperatures near freezing will negatively affect herbicide performance, as weeds are not actively growing. Initial transient crop yellowing may be observed after application, but this is outgrown and should not affect yield. Apply Viper ADV when broadleaf weeds are small and actively growing and before weeds reach the maximum size recommended for control. DO NOT apply VIPER ADV Herbicide to field peas that have been subjected to stress from conditions such as hail damage, flooding, drought, hot, humid weather, widely fluctuating temperature conditions, prolonged cold weather or injury from prior herbicide applications, as crop injury may result.Failure to include UAN will result in significantly reduced product performance.
How it WorksImazamox is a systemic herbicide absorbed by foliage and roots that disrupts plant metabolism causing growth to stop. Bentazon is a contact herbicide taken up primarily through the leaves and interferes with photosynthesis. Thorough coverage of foliage is important for consistent weed control.
RestrictionsRainfall: Rainfall within 6 hours of application may reduce activity. Grazing: Do not graze treated field peas or cut for feed within 20 days of application. Pre-harvest Intervals: Do not apply within 60 days of harvest. Re-cropping: Winter wheat may be seeded 3 months after application. Canary seed, CLEARFIELD canola, non-CLEARFIELD canola, chickpea, field corn, field pea, flax, lentil, oat, barley and spring wheat (including durum), CLEARFIELD sunflowers and sunflowers may be seeded the first spring after application and tame mustard the second season after application. A field bioassay (a test strip grown to maturity) is recommended the year before growing any crops other than those listed above. Contact manufacturer for additional information on recropping intervals (1-877-371-2273).Do not apply Viper ADV more than once per year.

1One application including Roundup WeatherMAX at 676 mL/acre applied at the 2 - 8 leaf stage of actively growing biennial wormwood. 2Two applications including Roundup WeatherMAX at 676 mL/acre applied when the bur cucumber is at the 1 - 18 leaf stage. Applications should be at least 2 weeks apart for best results. 4Applications including Roundup WeatherMAX at 676 mL/acre applied when quackgrass has 3 - 4 leaves, Canada thistle and perennial sow thistle are rosette to 50 cm in height and wire-stemmed muhly is 10 - 20 cm in height. Weeds should be actively growing at application. 5Applications including Roundup WeatherMAX at 676 mL/acre L/ha will provide suppression. 6Applications including Roundup WeatherMAX applied pre-plant surface or pre-emergence at 676 mL to 1.35 L/acre. Use Roundup WeatherMAX rates of 1 to 1.35 L/acre on heavy infestations of dandelions and on dandelions greater than 15 cm in size. Apply up to and including bloom for best results. 7For control of common milkweed, yellow nutsedge and field bindweed, a second application including Roundup WeatherMAX at 676 mL/acre L/ha may be needed and should be applied at least 2 weeks after the first application, or 1.35 L/acre should be applied once. Milkweed should be 15 - 60 cm in height; yellow nutsedge should be 5 - 15 cm in height. 8Applications including Roundup WeatherMAX at 1.35 L/acre applied at the 2 - 12 leaf stage of horsenettle or up to the 18 leaf stage of tall waterhemp, or 2 applications of 676 mL/acre applied at least 2 weeks apart. For control of tall water hemp, use the higher rate if weeds are beyond the 6 leaf stage. 9Alfalfa should have 9 or more leaves and be at least 10 -1 5 cm tall. Bromegrass should have at least 3 - 5 leaves and be at least 10 - 15 cm tall.
Notes: Weeds will be more easily controlled and early crop competition avoided with applications made when the weeds are small. Control of annual weeds greater than 25 cm in height will be inconsistent, although some weeds may be controlled.
The 692 mL/acre rate is to be used only once in a growing season. DO NOT exceed the maximum season total of 1.38 L/acre.
Application InformationRefer to label for a full description of application requirements. Water Volume: Minimum 100 L per hectare. Aerial Application: DO NOT apply by air. Apply when air temperature is between 10 and 25°C. DO NOT spray when the temperature is expected to exceed 30°C. DO NOT allow herbicide solution to mist, drip, drift or splash onto desirable vegetation because severe injury or destruction to desirable broadleaf plants could result. When applying Roundup Xtend adjacent to sensitive crops, apply as a pre-plant, pre-emergent or early post-emergent treatment to avoid potential drift onto the sensitive crops.
Application TipsNozzles and pressure: Use only spray nozzles that produce ASABE S-572.1 Extremely Coarse (XC) to Ultra Coarse (UC) spray qualities and minimal amounts of fine spray droplets. DO NOT use conventional flat fan nozzles that produce Medium or Fine spray qualities. Adjust pressure for selected nozzles to maintain XC to UC spray qualities. Use at least 30 psi (207 kPa) to ensure proper pattern overlap, and check this aspect visually. DO NOT apply during a temperature inversion because off-target movement potential is high.
Registered Tank Mixes Herbicides: glyphosate (Roundup brands) with Roundup WeatheMAX with Transorb 2 Technology. Numerous herbicides tank mixes depending on crop; refer to label. Fungicides: None registered. Insecticides: None registered. Fertilizers: None registered. DO NOT add acidifying buffering agents, acidic pH adjusting agents or adjuvants other than agriculturally approved NIS to the spray solution. DO NOT add ammonium sulfate (AMS), AMS-containing adjuvants, water conditioners or sprayable fluid fertilizers.
RestrictionsRainfall: Rain within 4 hours of application may reduce control. Grazing: 7 - 10 days for soybean forage and 13 - 15 days for soybean hay. DO NOT permit lactating dairy animals to graze fields within 7 days after application. DO NOT harvest forage or cut hay within 30 days after application. Withdraw meat animals from treated fields at least 3 days before slaughter. Re-cropping: A plant-back interval of 120 days is required for those crops not on the label of Roundup Xtend with VaporGrip Technology. Do not count days when the ground is frozen. Moisture is essential for the degradation of this herbicide in soil. If dry weather persists after application, crop injury may occur the following spring.

Environmental PrecautionsBuffer Zones: refer to label. Runoff: To reduce runoff from treated areas into aquatic habitats, consider the characteristics and conditions of the site before treatment. Site characteristics and conditions that may lead to runoff include but are not limited to heavy rainfall, moderate to steep slope, bare soil, poorly draining soil (e.g. soils that are compacted, fine textured, or low in organic matter such as clay). Potential for contamination of aquatic areas as a result of runoff may be reduced by including an untreated vegetative strip between the treated area and the edge of the water body. Avoid applying this product when heavy rain is forecast. Leaching: The use of this chemical may result in contamination of groundwater, particularly in areas where soils are permeable (e.g. sand, loamy sand and sandy loam soils) and/or the depth to the water table is shallow.
ToxicityDicamba may cause severe irritation to the eyes and irritation to the skin and mucous membranes. Symptoms of over exposure to dicamba may include dizziness, muscle weakness, loss of appetite, weight loss, vomiting, decreased heart rate, shortness of breath, excitement, tenseness, depression, incontinence, cyanosis, muscle spasms, exhaustion and loss of voice. Treat symptomatically. Mammalian toxicity: Acute oral LD50 (rats) = > 5,000 mg/kg.
StorageStore above -10°C to keep product in solution. If the product freezes and crystals form, place in a warm room (20°C), allow the product to reach room temperature and roll or shake periodically until crystals have re-dissolved.

Chemical Insect Control in Alberta
The degree of infestation and severity of insect damage varies drastically from area to area and season to season. Most pests, such as grasshoppers, cutworms and Bertha armyworms, require control during periods of abundance that may last from one to several years. Other pests, like flea beetles, require control annually in some parts of Alberta.
Insect pest monitoring
The Alberta Insect Pest Monitoring Network can provide more information on insect pests of Alberta. See the web page at agriculture.alberta.ca/bugs-pest
Chemical control
A number of factors should be considered once the decision to apply an insecticide has been made. Insecticides will kill the pest insect if applied properly at a stage when the pest is susceptible. An application made too early or too late in the life cycle may not provide adequate control. Other factors to consider include: ability of the insecticide to penetrate through the plant foliage, weather conditions, age and size of the insect, wait period to grazing or harvest and dosage required. If insects are moving into crops or emerging over an extended period, several applications in the same season may be necessary since most insecticides have limited residual properties when applied to foliage.
Safety
In general, insecticides are more toxic to humans, wildlife, fish, bees and other non-target organisms than herbicides or fungicides. Follow label directions for safety precautions associated with application of each insecticide. Refer to the introductory section of this book for general information on safety precautions associated with pesticide use.
Bee safety
The insecticides used to protect crops from damaging outbreaks of insect pests can also kill beneficial insects. The objective of the insecticide application is to remove the problem insects from the crop with the least possible impact to beneficial insects such as honeybees and leafcutter bees. Because bees play a critical role in pollinating certain crops, it is important to ensure that an insecticide application has a
minimum impact on population numbers. Although it may not be possible to totally eliminate the effect of insecticides on beneficial insects, the impact can be greatly reduced when the agricultural producer, pesticide applicator and beekeeper work together.
Beekeepers should:• Talk with the landowners near their bee yards
before spray season and provide the producers with their phone number.
• Ask producers if spraying to control insects is likely this year.
• Ask the producer to provide them with notification 48 hours in advance of applying an insecticide.
Producers and applicators should:• Check for potential insect infestations in field crops
early and frequently, and determine the economic thresholds for problem insects so that a spray program can be planned should it be required.
• Notify beekeepers of intentions to spray 48 hours in advance of spraying.
• Avoid application of insecticides to crops in bloom or to fields containing blooming weeds, which are attractive to foraging bees. Where feasible, use a preventative program early in the season when insecticides may be as effective and crops are not blooming.
• Spray late in the day or early in the morning when the temperature is below ideal foraging temperatures to reduce direct exposure to bees. Honeybees are most active when the temperature is above 18°C (72°F), usually in the heat of the day. As a general rule, evening applications are less hazardous than morning applications.
• Where there is a risk to bees, use an insecticide that has short residual activity to reduce the impact on the bees and to reduce possibilities of residues occurring in honey and pollen.
• Learn about pollination requirements of the different crops grown and about honeybees and leafcutter bees.
CautionUnusually low temperatures during and immediately following applications cause insecticides to remain toxic to bees for a much longer period than normal. High temperatures will extend the foraging period, and application time must be adjusted accordingly. Prevent insecticides from drifting into adjacent blooming crops, roadsides and pastures with weeds

in bloom, water used by bees, leafcutter shelters or apiaries by maintaining a reasonable distance from field boundaries and allowing for the potential movement of insecticides by wind. For more information, contact the Alberta Ag-Info Centre at 310-FARM (3276).
Rights and good practiceBy law, persons, provided they do not contravene any land use by-laws, regulations or generally accepted practices, may operate an agricultural operation (including the application of pesticides). It’s important to follow label directions and good practices regarding protection of pollinator species from insecticide applications.
Laws generally allow persons to obtain a benefit on their property, provided that the benefit is not achieved at the expense of adjacent landowners. Ensure that pesticides are used in a manner where drift does not occur.
Notification ensures that hazards are identified prior to spraying so that farmers or their custom applicators can adjust application practices to prevent problems, and beekeepers can adjust practices to accommodate spraying. Notification does not mean seeking permission to spray. Producers have the legal right to apply pesticides on their property.
Toxicity of Insecticides to Honeybees
Highly toxic Moderately toxic Relatively non-toxic
Severe losses may be expected if the following materials are used when bees are present at treatment time or within a few days thereafter:
These can be used around bees if dosage, timing, and method of application are correct, but do not apply them directly on bees, in the field or at the colonies:

Notification is a two-way street – both the beekeeper and farmer have to make efforts to protect pollinators.
Note: In many cases, beekeepers cannot move or cover their bees, especially during honey flow, so timing and accuracy of an insecticide application, plus selection of the safest insecticide where there is risk to bees, are the only ways to safeguard bees.

Livestock and residuesThe number of days between the application of an insecticide and harvesting, feeding to livestock or grazing is given on the label. These restrictions must be followed to prevent illegal residues in crops and livestock and to eliminate hazards to consumers.
The guideThis guide only includes the major insecticides registered for use on field crops in Alberta. Not all insects controlled are listed for each insecticide.
Economic thresholdBefore making a decision to apply an insecticide, producers need to know if the application would be economically justified. In addition to the expected dollar value of the crop, the producer needs to determine whether the insects present will cause a yield loss greater in value than the cost of control. The economic thresholds listed below will assist in making this decision.
Thresholds are given as the number of insects/unit of measure (such as #/plant or #/m2) or, for insects that are difficult to sample, the amount of damage evident. Chemical controls are generally only warranted when numbers meet or exceed the threshold level. Remember to sample throughout the field (minimum of 10 samples per 160 acres) to obtain an average infestation level.
Economic Thresholds for Insect Pests of Forage and Special Crops
Insect Economic threshold Comments
Alfalfa weevil Alfalfa hay crops: Thresholds are based on plant height and number of larvae: < 30 cm - 1 larva per stem; < 40 cm 2 larvae/stem. 3 larvae per stem requires control regardless of plant height. Alfalfa seed crops: 20 - 30 larvae per 90° sweep or when 35 - 50% of foliage tips show damage.
Alfalfa hay crops: If feeding damage detected, cutting hay early can be an effective control strategy.
Grasshoppers Alfalfa: See Cereals table.
Lygus bugs For adults and nymph stages 4 and 5: 2 - 3 lygus per 90° sweep. Nymph stages 1, 2 and 3 do not cause economic damage.
Pea aphid Alfalfa: 75 - 100 aphids per plant.Field peas: 2 - 3 aphids per 20 cm stem tip when 50% of plants have developed some young pods.
Plant bugs Alfalfa for seed: 5 nymphs per sweep (any or all species of plant bugs) when alfalfa is in bud or bloom.
Sweetclover weevil Seedling crop (cotyledon stage): 1 weevil per 5 seedlings under slow growing conditions or 1 weevil per 3 seedlings under normal growing conditions.Newly emerged 2nd-year stand: 9 - 12 weevils per plant.

Actara (cont’d)
How it WorksActara is a systemic neonicotinoid insecticide. It controls the sucking and chewing insects through contact and ingestion.
RestrictionsRainfall: Avoid application of Actara when heavy rain is forecast. Pre-harvest Intervals: 7 days. Re-entry: Do not enter into treated areas for 12 hours after foliar application. Re-cropping: Treated areas may be replanted immediately following harvest or as soon as practical following the last application with any crop listed on this label or to sorghum, wheat, barley and canola. Any cover crop planted for erosion control or soil improvement may be planted as soon as practical following the last application. However, the cover crop may not be grazed or harvested for food or feed. For all other crops, a 120-day plant-back interval must be observed.
Environmental PrecautionsActara is highly toxic to certain aquatic organisms. Do not contaminate water with the product or its container. Observe buffer zones specified on the Actara label. Runoff: Do not apply Actara directly to freshwater habitats. Do not contaminate irrigation or drinking water supplies or aquatic habitats by cleaning of equipment or disposal of wastes. Leaching: Thiamethoxam is moderate to very persistent in soil and is highly mobile. The use of Actara may result in contamination of groundwater particularly in areas where soils are permeable (e.g. sandy soil) and/or where the depth to the water table is shallow.
ToxicityOral LD50 (rats) >5,000 mg/kg. Dermal LD50 (rabbits) = >2,000 mg/kg. Toxic to bees.
StorageStore in cool, dry place and prevent cross contamination with other pesticides, fertilizers, food and feed.

Apply only in areas with adequate ventilation or in areas that are equipped to remove spray mist or dust. Do not apply any subsequent application of imidacloprid or other Group 4 insecticide following a Group 4 potato seed piece treatment.
Registered Tank MixesAdmire 240 can be tank mixed with Ridomil Gold 480 for suppression of Pink Rot (Phytophthora erythroseptica). Please refer to Ridomil Gold 240 label for use instructions and precautions.
Application InformationHow to Apply: Ground application only. Do not apply by air. Water Volume: Water volume should be adequate to provide sufficient coverage.
Application TipsSoil application: Apply Admire 240/Alias 240 SC as a narrow band in-furrow. For best results, direct spray on the seed pieces or seed potatoes in the furrow. Foliar Application: Apply product as pest numbers begin to increase but before a damaging population becomes established. Scout fields and repeat if needed. Do not make a foliar application of imidacloprid following a soil or seed piece treatment application of product in the same crop. Potato Seed Piece Treatment: Do not dilute with any more than 3 parts water to 1 part insecticide. Agitate or stir spray solution as needed. The higher rate is recommended when extended length of control is needed. Do not apply more than 0.47 L/acre per year. Check the label to select an effective treatment rate based upon seeding rate and desired duration of control.
How it WorksImidacloprid is a systemic chloronicotinyl insecticide.
RestrictionsRainfall: Do not apply product or plant treated seed pieces when heavy rainfall is forecast for the next 48 hours. Grazing: Do not use treated seed pieces for food, feed or fodder. Re-entry: Do not enter treated areas for 24 hours after foliar application. Pre-harvest interval: 7 days after a foliar application. Re-cropping: Plant-back interval for cereal grains (wheat, barley, oats) - minimum of 30 days; peas and beans - minimum of 9 months. Other food and feed crops - 12 months. Green manure and other cover crops not intended for human or animal consumption can be grown without plant-back interval. Do not graze or harvest cover crops for food or feed.
Environmental PrecautionsImidacloprid is toxic to aquatic invertebrates and birds. Keep out of lakes, streams, ponds or other aquatic systems. Imidacloprid is toxic to bees.Runoff: Do not apply to terrain where there is a potential for surface runoff to enter aquatic systems. Leaching: Imidacloprid demonstrates the properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in groundwater. The use of Admire 240/Alias 240 SC in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow, may result in groundwater contamination.
ToxicityOral LD50 (rats) = 4,143 - 4,870 mg/kg. Dermal LD50 (rabbits) = 2,000 mg/kg. Toxic to bees.
StorageStore in cool, dry place and avoid cross contamination with other pesticides, fertilizers, food and feed.

How it WorksFlonicamid insecticide is a member of the pyridinecarboxamide class of chemistry. It specifically targets piercing and sucking pests. Both immature and adult stages begin to stop feeding within 30 minutes of application. The chemical works by contact or ingestion and disrupts the insect’s nervous system, which leads to an inability to feed.
RestrictionsRainfall: Avoid application when heavy rain is forecast. Pre-harvest Intervals: Potato: 7 days. Re-entry: Do not enter treated areas for 12 hours after application. Re-cropping: There are no plant-back restrictions for crops listed on the label. All other crops may be planted 30 days after the last application.
Environmental PrecautionsFlonicamid is toxic to certain beneficial insects. Minimize spray drift to reduce harmful effects on beneficial insects in habitats next to the application site such as hedgerows and woodland.
ToxicityOral LD50 (rats) > 2,000 mg/kg. Dermal LD50 (rats) > 2,000 mg/kg. Toxic to certain beneficial insects.

Logic M can be tank mixed only with Citadel.Caution: When tank mixing, always add the herbicide to the spray tank first and then add the chlorpyrifos insecticide.
Application InformationHow to Apply: Ground and aerial application (unless otherwise specified on the label). Water Volume: Ground: 20 - 80 L/acre. Aerial: 4 - 12 L/acre minimum.
Application TipsUniform coverage of crop is essential: use a boom configuration that provides optimum coverage. Use higher rates when infestations are heavy and when foliage is dense.Bertha armyworm, and armyworm: Use higher rate for large larvae and when canopy is dense.Cutworms: Higher rates and water volumes when the top 1 cm of soil surface is extremely dry or when the infestation is heavy.Foliage treatments: When spraying crops near maturity, an application system that gives maximum penetration of the crop canopy is necessary to get good insect kill. Do not apply to crops in bloom. Best results will be obtained when application is made during early evening. Avoid application under hot temperatures. Do not apply to plants under extreme drought stress.
How it WorksChlorpyrifos is a broad-spectrum, nonsystemic and contact organophosphate insecticide and acaricide.
Expected ResultsInsects must come in direct contact with the insecticide to be affected. Degrades on foliage by weathering, and a significant kill of insects eating treated foliage may not last beyond 48 hours after treatment. Somewhat more persistent in soil; control of soil-dwelling insects may be more durable.
RestrictionsRainfall: Foliar treatments: should be made 4 - 6 hours before forecast rainfall. Soil treatment: should not be applied if heavy rainfall is forecast. Grazing: Cereals grown for cover crop treated with chlorpyrifos insecticide should not be harvested for human or animal consumption if treated within 60 days of harvest. Pre-harvest Interval (Days): Barley, oats, wheat (60), canola (21), corn – field and sweet only (70), flax (21), lentils (21 days for applications up to 354 mL/acre), (60 days for applications greater than 354 mL/acre), potatoes (7), sugar beets (90), sunflowers (42). Re-entry: Do not enter treated field for at least 24 hours after application. Re-cropping: No information is specified on the label. Maximum Allowable Applications: Barley, oats, wheat, canola, corn, flax, lentil, sunflower, potatoes – do not apply more than once per season. See label for restrictions on other crops.

Environmental PrecautionsChlorpyrifos is toxic to birds and wildlife and extremely toxic to fish and aquatic organisms. Do not apply directly to water. Drift and runoff from treated areas may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in adjacent aquatic sites. Runoff: To reduce runoff from treated areas into aquatic habitats, consider the characteristics and conditions of the site before treatment. Leaching: Binds to organic matter in soil. As a result it is less likely to leach in soils with adequate organic matter levels.
ToxicityOral LD50 (rats) formulation = 440 - 900 mg/kg. Toxic to bees.
StorageKeep away from heat, sparks and open flame. Do not store above 38°C for extended periods of time. Keep away from food, drinks and animal feed.

Note: The Canadian Grain Commission does not recommend the use of grain protectants. Malathion is more effective in dry grain than in tough or damp grain because the pesticide breaks down rapidly.
Application InformationFoliar treatments: (Malathion 500, 85 E and Malathion 95 ULV): Ground and aerial application. See product label for restrictions. Water Volume: Ground: 400 L/acre. Aerial: 12 L/acre minimum.Stored grain treatments: Apply with sprayer or dust applicators. Water Volume: 10 - 20 L water; Indian meal moth (surface treatment) – 295 mL in 5 - 10 L water/100 m2. Incorporation: Add to grain as it is being augered, or scatter proper amount of dust on each load and cut in with shovel before dumping.
Application TipsAll crops: Apply when day temperature is expected to exceed 20°C. Do not apply to plants in bloom. Stored grain: To protect from Indian meal moth, spray evenly over the surface of uninfested grain and rake to a depth of 15 cm. Where special application equipment is not available, any type of low pressure sprayer holding 5 L or more can be used. Apply spray to the grain stream as it is being elevated into storage.Before storing new grain: Thoroughly clean up old grain and debris from bins, elevators or grain handling equipment. Remove and burn all sweepings. After cleaning the premises, apply a residual malathion spray to walls, floors and machinery in grain elevators or farm storage. Force spray into cracks and crevices. Apply 5 L of spray/100 m2 of surface area using a coarse wetting spray. Wait until spray has thoroughly dried before storing grain in treated areas. Spray this mixture around the outside of bins and elevators to help prevent the insects from entering the bins.
How it WorksA non-systemic, contact, organophosphate insecticide and acaricide of brief to moderate persistence. Generally non-phytotoxic.
RestrictionsGrazing: For pasture and range grass, repeat as necessary. Do not apply to fields occupied by dairy animals, but may be grazed or harvested on the day of application. Pre-harvest Intervals: Lentil: 14 days, canary grass - seed production: 14 days. All other field crops and pasture: 7 days. Stored Grain Sales: Do not apply within 7 days of selling grain. Do not apply to barley destined for malting, canola, flax or pulses.

When UsedAphids: Use the higher rate when conditions favour rapidly increasing aphid populations. Repeat sprays at 7 day intervals depending on the presence of significant populations as determined by local monitoring.Cabbage seedpod weevil: Apply at the bud to early flowering stage of crop development. Timing of applications should also be based on the presence of significant populations of adults, as determined by local monitoring. Application prior to adult migration into the field will not be effective.Colorado potato beetle: Apply when insects or damage appears. Use the high rate once larvae are past the second instar. Timing of applications should be based on the presence of vulnerable pest developmental stages and significant populations as determined by local monitoring. Colorado potato beetle susceptibility to pyrethroid insecticides should be confirmed using an appropriate assay.

Crucifer flea beetle: To prevent migration of overwintering flea beetle adults throughout the field, ground spray a 15 m strip around the field at the first sign of flea beetle feeding.Cutworm: Applications should be made under moist conditions in the evening or night when cutworm activity is highest. Do not disturb the soil surface for 5 days after treatment.Grasshoppers: Best results on young, non-flying grasshoppers (up to 3rd nymphal stage, up to 1 cm in length) or when insect numbers are low. Use higher rate when grasshopper are larger, up to but not including winged adults (up to 2.5 cm in length) or when insect numbers are high. If insect migration into a field is severe, apply spray to a 15 m strip around the field.
Application InformationHow to Apply: Ground and aerial application. See above table for details. Water Volume: Ground: 40 – 80 L/acre. Aerial: 4 - 16 L/acre.
Application TipsControl of some insects species with synthetic pyrethroid insecticides decreases as temperature rises. For best results, apply Matador 120EC or Silencer 120EC during early morning before temperature rise and during the evening, past the heat of the day. Temperature must be warm enough for insects to be active.
How it WorksCyhalothrin-lambda is a photostable, synthetic pyrethroid insecticide. It is a fast acting stomach and contact insecticide. It has no fumigant or systemic activity. Best results will be obtained when applied during early developmental stages of pests as determined by regular monitoring.
RestrictionsRainfall: Avoid application when heavy rain is forecast. Grazing: Do not graze or feed livestock treated forage or cut green crop for hay or silage. Pre-harvest Intervals: See above table. Re-entry: Do not re-enter treated areas until 24 hours after treatment.
Environmental PrecautionsToxic to aquatic organisms and fish.

Note: Suggested exposures should be observed. A shortened exposure period cannot be compensated for by increased dosage.
Application TipsGeneral: This product is for retail sale to and use only by individuals holding an Alberta Fumigation Pesticide Applicator Certificate or a Farmer Pesticide Certificate with the Fumigation Endorsement. Read the entire label, applicator’s manual and guidance for preparation of a fumigation management plan before use. This product can only be used with a detailed fumigation management plan. The plan must be written for all fumigations prior to treatment.Fumigating grain storage units: Make sure the structure is tight enough to retain the fumigant. Seal the structure as necessary. Tablets may be probed into grain or fed into the grain stream as the grain is transferred from one bin to another. A minimum buffer zone of 30 metres in all directions from the fumigation site must be established. Placarding is required for both the fumigated site and the buffer zone perimeter. The buffer zone must not include within it any structures unless they are unoccupied during the application. Entry into these structures or the buffer zone must be restricted and is not permitted until the fumigated site has been aerated and the hydrogen phosphide level is at or below 0.1 ppm in the fumigated site and the buffer zone. After application, all openings should be sealed and entries locked and placarded. After the exposure period, open doors and windows for aeration. Fumigated commodities must be aerated for 48 hours prior to selling. Remove all warning placards when aeration is complete.
How it WorksPhosphine (hydrogen phosphide) is a colourless gas with a carbide-like odour and high volatility. Formulated product consists of aluminium phosphide, ammonium bicarbonate, urea and paraffin. Upon exposure to air, the ammonium

Table of Contents
bicarbonate breaks down to form ammonia (a pungent, warning gas) and carbon dioxide (a fire suppressant). Within 1 - 4 hours, depending on temperature and humidity, the product begins to decompose and release phosphine. After decomposition, there remains a grey-white dust composed almost entirely of non-poisonous aluminum hydroxide with trace amounts of undecomposed aluminum phosphide. The dust is eliminated when raw agricultural commodities are moved.
Expected resultsThe effectiveness of this product depends on the fumigation achieved by the release of phosphine gas. Therefore, tightness of the area to be fumigated and temperature of the commodity are essential when determining dosage rates and exposure rates. The tighter the bin and the warmer the temperature of the commodity, the lower the dosage required and vice versa.
RestrictionsAerate finished food for 48 hours before it is offered to the consumer.
ToxicityHydrogen phosphide gas is very toxic to all forms of animal life, and exposure to even small amounts should be prevented. Poisoning results from ingestion or inhalation as hydrogen phosphide is not absorbed through the skin. It is also insoluble in water, fats and oils.
PrecautionsProtective equipmentA self-contained breathing apparatus must be worn during delivery/dispensing of products/ attending leaks or spills/ de-activation of granules and while monitoring hydrogen phosphide levels during fumigation and aeration periods (i.e. worn at all times when the hydrogen phosphide levels are above 0.1 ppm or unknown).Reduce gas hazardsNever let tablets come in direct contact with liquid – this contact causes the immediate release of hydrogen phosphide. Never open a container except for immediate usage. Never confine the product in small gas proof enclosures such as plastic bags. Such confinement could cause the gas concentration to reach the lower flammability level. Take precautions in areas where copper, brass or gold are present, as corrosion may occur. Never fumigate in areas containing electronic or telephone equipment, photographic film or copy paper. Remove such items or protect them from exposure to the gas. Hydrogen phosphide has great penetrating power, and gas may slowly seep through concrete block walls. Hydrogen phosphide does not layer, but expands to fill the available space.Symptoms of poisoningSeverity depends on concentration of hydrogen phosphide involved. Mild poisoning results in fatigue, nausea, pressure or pain in the chest, ringing in the ears and uneasiness. Hydrogen phosphide is not a chronic poison, and these symptoms will readily disappear with rest and fresh air. Greater quantities of gas produce such symptoms as vomiting, stomach ache, diarrhea, disturbance in equilibrium and dyspnea (difficulty in breathing). Very high concentrations quickly cause bluish-purple skin colour, agitation, poor muscle co-ordination, sub-normal blood oxygen content, unconsciousness and death. Death can occur very quickly or be delayed several days as a result of pulmonary edema and collapse, by paralysis of the central respiratory system. In cases of severe poisoning, disturbance in liver and kidney function can also occur.First aidShould exposure to hydrogen phosphide be documented or suspected, remove patient from gas atmosphere to open air. Call a physician immediately. Have the patient lie down, keeping him warm and comfortable. Treat as for shock. Make no antidotal use of fats, oil, butter or milk. Do not administer atropine as it is contraindicative. Begin artificial respiration if breathing has ceased. When exposure to low concentrations of hydrogen phosphide has been documented or suspected, the individual involved should rest for 24 hours, and under no circumstances should he resume any work dealing with fumigation. If ingested, induce vomiting by touching the back of the throat with a blunt object.
StorageTablets are received in resealable flasks. As long as flasks remain intact, the storage life of the product is unlimited. Storage should be in a dry, locked, ventilated area and out of the reach of children and irresponsible persons.

How it WorksA carbamate insecticide that works by contact and ingestion. Moderate to rapid in speed of action with moderate to long residual effectiveness (2 days to 4 weeks) depending on crop/pest complex, formulation and climatic conditions. Some immediate control is expected, but the majority of control occurs 24 - 48 hours after application.
Restrictions Rainfall: Do not apply just before rain. Grazing: Forage and feed crops, including bean vines, hay, pea vines, may be grazed or harvested for use as feed for dairy animals 48 hours after treatment and meat animals 24 hours after treatment without resulting in illegal residues in milk or meat. Remove cattle from area to be sprayed. Treated forage and feed crops may be fed to dairy animals and animals for slaughter provided sprays are applied as directed. Beef cattle may be re-introduced to range 1 day after application; dairy cattle 2 days after application. Pre-harvest Intervals (days): Barley (28), oats, rye, wheat (14), peas (3), beans (5), corn (1), potatoes (7), alfalfa, clovers (2), forage grasses, non-crop areas, pasture, rangeland (1).
Environmental Precautions:Do not apply when weather conditions favour runoff or drift. Do not contaminate surface or ground water. Do not apply directly to water or to areas where surface water is present. Drift: Do not apply or allow to drift to blooming crops or weeds if bees are visiting the treatment area.
ToxicityOral LD50 (rats) = 699 mg/kg. Dermal LD50 (rats) = > 4,000 mg/kg. Toxic to bees.
StorageDo not store where temperature frequently exceeds 38°C. All formulations will withstand freezing.

Potato Colorado potato beetle Potato flea beetle (early season control of spring adults)
6.75 to 9 mL per 100 metre of row OR 304 to 405 mL per acre (based on 90 cm row spacing) Seed-piece treatment (potatoes only) 45 mL per 100 kg of seed pieces OR 405 mL per acre (based on 2200 kg/ac planting rate)
In-furrow application: Apply as a narrow band in-furrow. For best results, direct spray on the seed pieces in the furrow. Thorough coverage of seed pieces is important to obtain optimum control.Potato seed-piece treatment: Apply in areas with adequate ventilation or areas equipped to remove spray mist or dust. Good coverage of the seed-piece is required for optimal control. Following an application of Verimark insecticide, application of a fungicide potato seed treatment or inert dust is recommended.
Registered Tank MixesNone registered.
Application InformationMix with water for application as in-furrow spray or seed-piece treatment with appropriate equipment. Always add Verimark to water; never put Verimark into a dry tank or other mixing equipment without first adding water. Mix thoroughly; once dispersed, continued agitation is required. Spray mix should not be stored overnight in the spray tank.
Application TipsWhen pest populations are expected to be high, use the highest listed application rate for that pest. Coverage is important to obtain optimum control. Do not make more than one soil or seed-piece application per season. Do not exceed a total of 0.607 litres Verimark per acre per season.
How it WorksAfter exposure to Verimark, affected insects will rapidly stop feeding, become paralyzed, and typically die within 1 - 3 days.
RestrictionsDo not make a subsequent foliar application of any Group 28 insecticide for a minimum of 60 days following an in-furrow application planting of seed pieces treated with duPont Verimark insecticide. Colorado Potato Beetle Resistance Management: Do not apply any Group 28 insecticide for Colorado Potato Beetle control if Verimark was used at planting as in-furrow or seed-piece treatment. Re-cropping: Plant-back Intervals (PBI) for rotational crops range from 0 to 365 days. See the label for information on PBI for specific crops.
Environmental PrecautionsVerimark is toxic to aquatic organisms. Do not contaminate irrigation or drinking water supplies or aquatic habitats by the cleaning of equipment or disposal of wastes. Toxic to bees. This product is systemic, and bees can be exposed to product residues in flower, leaves, pollen and/or nectar resulting from soil applications. However, when this product is applied and used according to label directions, the risk to bees is expected to be negligible.
ToxicityLow acute toxicity. Oral LD50 (rats) = > 5,000 mg/kg.

Seed Treatment of Cereal, Forage, Oilseed and Pulse Crops
Purpose of seed treatmentSeed treatment provides economical insurance against many diseases and some insect pests of seed and seedlings. Chemical treatment can give seedlings a head start by preventing or reducing damage resulting from certain crop pests.
Diseases are controlled by contact fungicides that destroy fungi carried on the seed, such as common bunt of wheat, the surface-borne smuts of barley and oats, fungus stripe of barley and some leaf-spotting and seed decay fungi. Systemic fungicides destroy fungi carried in the seed, such as loose smut of wheat and barley, and they protect the early growth of the seedling.
Specific recommendations:
• Rye and flax should be treated because they are very susceptible to seed decay.
• Winter wheat should be treated to prevent bunt and seed decay as well as to promote good seedling growth.
• If bunt or smut was observed in a crop that will be used for seed, the grain should be treated. If a variety is grown that is susceptible to bunt or smut and the presence of the disease is uncertain, it may be wise to treat the seed annually or every second year, depending on the susceptibility of the variety.
• Canola should always be treated to control the seed-borne phase of blackleg.
• Alfalfa seed is treated to control verticillium wilt.
Insecticidal seed treatment will prevent or reduce damage caused by certain crop pests.
Methods of seed treatmentCustom treatmentFungicides are applied to the seed sometime before planting. Seed cleaning plants are equipped to treat seed with liquid fungicides. Canola can only be treated by custom applicators as there are no farmer-applied seed fungicides available. Farmers can use a variety of methods for both liquid and dry formulation application.
Precautions• read and follow label directions carefully
• treated seed must not be allowed to contaminate grain intended for food, feed or commercial use
• bury leftover treated seed or store it safely in labelled bags for future use as seed
• treated seed offered for sale must be labelled with the name of the treated chemicals (Canada Seed Act)
• treated seed in transit must be bagged or bulk loads tarped to prevent spillage

Product Company Active ingredient Formulation Container size
Crown (PCP# 23430) Chemtura Canada Carbathiin: 92 g/L Thiabendazole: 58 g/L
Liquid 10 L, 200 L, 1000 L
Crops, Diseases Controlled and Rates
Crops Diseases Rate per 25 kg seed Comments
Lentil Post-emergence damping off, seed rot (Botrytis and Fusarium)
75 - 150 mL Apply the higher rate when there is a history of high disease pressure in the field.Seed-borne ascochyta (Ascochyta lentis) 150 mL
Chickpea Seed-borne ascochyta (Ascochyta rabiei) 75 - 150 mL Use the higher rate for smaller seed size varieties.
Application InformationCommercial treaters and on-farm auger treating: Crown is added directly to the seed as it enters a mixing chamber or auger. When a grain auger is used for treating, running the auger less than full is key to adequate mixing. Application to seed in a hopper box or seed drill: Partially fill the hopper box or seed drill with a pre-measured amount of seed. Apply the proper amount of Crown evenly over the surface of the seed. Mix with a paddle until all seed is of a uniform red colour, indicating adequate coverage. Repeat this procedure until the hopper box or seed drill is filled. Seed can be planted immediately after treatment without drying. Seed treatment and inoculum sticker: Crown’s liquid properties enable this product to perform as a sticker for inoculants. Partially fill the hopper box or seed drill with a pre-measured amount of seed. Apply the proper amount of Crown evenly over the surface of the seed. Read inoculum label before use. Apply the recommended amount of inoculum evenly over the treated seed and mix thoroughly. Repeat this procedure until the hopper box or seed drill is filled. Seed treated with Crown will remain damp for a period of time following treatment. This enables inoculant added to the hopper box or seed drill to adhere uniformly to seed, thus ensuring adequate nodulation of lentil and chickpea seedlings.
How it WorksThiabendazole, a fungicide, controls seed-borne diseases. Carbathiin, a systemic fungicide, penetrates the seed coat to control diseases of the seed and seedling.
RestrictionsGrazing: Do not graze or feed livestock on treated areas for four weeks after planting. Do not use treated seed for food, feed or oil processing.
Environmental PrecautionsCrown contains a petroleum distillate, which is moderately to highly toxic to aquatic organisms. Do not contaminate water during application, cleaning of equipment or disposing of wastes. Any spilled or exposed seed must be incorporated into the soil or cleaned up from the soil surface.
ToxicityOral LD50 (rats) carbathiin = 3,820 mg/kg; thiabendazole = 3,300 mg/kg.
StorageStore product in original container only, away from other pesticides, fertilizer, food or feed. Keep container closed. Do not store Crown in direct sunlight. Do not store Crown above 35°C or below 0°C.

Registered Tank MixesCruiser 5FS can be tank mixed with Apron Maxx RTA, Dividend XL RTA and Vibrance 500FS. Follow the more stringent precautionary measures for mixing, loading and applying as stated on both product labels.
Application InformationEnsure product is thoroughly mixed prior to application. Apply Cruiser 5FS Seed Treatment utilizing closed system seed treatment equipment that provides uniform seed coverage. Thoroughly mix the recommended amount of Cruiser 5FS Seed Treatment into the required amount of water for the slurry rate to be used. Maintain constant agitation of the slurry. Allow the seed to dry before bagging or storing into bulk containers. Depending on planting equipment, seed treated with Cruiser 5FS Seed Treatment may not flow through planting equipment at the same rate as untreated seed. Recalibrate equipment before planting treated seed.
How it WorksCruiser 5FS Seed Treatment belongs to the neonicotinoid class of chemistry that controls listed chewing and sucking insects through contact and systemic activity. When seed is treated for post-planting protection against registered pests, Cruiser 5FS Seed Treatment will also provide protection during post-treatment storage of the seed against damage from many storage insect pests. Seed treated with Cruiser 5FS Seed Treatment has been tested and found to be effective against rusty grain beetle, saw-toothed grain beetle, red flour beetle, rice weevil, lesser grain borer, European corn borer and Indian-meal moth.
RestrictionsTreated seed must not be used for food, feed or oil processing. Grazing: Do not graze or feed livestock on seeded area for 45 days after planting.
Environmental PrecautionsThiamethoxam is toxic to bees. Bees can be exposed to product residues in flowers, leaves, pollen and/or nectar resulting from seed treatment applications. Do not apply directly to water or to areas where surface water is present. Treated seed is toxic to birds and small wild mammals. Spilled or exposed seeds and dust must be incorporated into the soil or cleaned up from the soil surface.

* Consult product label for seeding rate conversion chart.
Application InformationStore cut seeds between 7 and 10° C. Apply only in areas with adequate ventilation or in areas that are equipped to remove mist or dust. Seed loading onto the belt should be uniform. If the treated seed is to be stored for several days, ensure there is adequate cool air movement through the pile of cut seed potatoes at a relative humidity of 85 - 90%. An inert dust may be used to help suberization. Cut and treated seed should not be piled above 1.8 m in height. Optimal results are obtained if potatoes are planted immediately after being treated. Do not apply more than 190 mL/acre (rate required for seeding rate of 21 cwt/acre). For seeding rates higher than 21 cwt/acre, use Maxim D plus Actara (consult labels for rates).
How to ApplyApply as a water-based slurry utilizing standard slurry seed treatment equipment that provides uniform seed coverage. Thoroughly mix the recommended amount of Cruiser Maxx Potato Extreme into the required amount of water or tank mix partner for the slurry treater and dilution rate to be used. Maintain constant agitation of the slurry during treatment.
How it WorksCruiser Maxx Potato Extreme is active against black scurf, stem and stolon canker, silver scurf, and fludioxonil resistant Fusarium dry rot and contains thiamethoxam, a systemic neonicotinoid insecticide that controls listed sucking and chewing insects through contact and ingestion.
RestrictionsGrazing: Do not graze or feed livestock on seeded area for 45 days after planting. Do not use treated seed for food, feed or oil processing. Re-cropping restrictions: Treated areas may be replanted immediately following harvest or as soon as practical following the last application with any crop listed on the label or to sorghum, wheat, barley and canola. Any cover crop planted for erosion control or soil improvement may be planted as soon as practical following the last application. The cover crop may not be grazed or harvested for food or feed. For all other crops, a 120-day plant-back interval is required.

Application TipsPotatoes: Cut seed is particularly vulnerable to excess moisture. Too much moisture will induce seed decay. Fortenza has been designed to be delivered in very low volumes of liquid to ensure good coverage without increasing tuber decay. Store cut seed at or below 7° C. When treating cut seed, Fortenza can be followed with a dust/talc treatment to improve suberization. Apply only in areas with adequate ventilation or in areas that are equipped to remove mist or dust.
How it WorksFortenza is a systemic insecticide belonging to the chemical class of diamides. The length of control of the major insect pests will vary depending on the product use rate, insect pressure, crop growth and maturity as well as soil and environmental conditions.
RestrictionsApplication to corn, canola, rapeseed and mustard (condiment or oilseed) must be completed by commercial treaters (facilities and mobile treaters) with closed transfer systems only. Do not apply any subsequent application of a Group 28 insecticide (for example, in-furrow, soil or foliar application) following Fortenza seed treatment. Grazing: Do not use for food, feed or oil processing. Re-cropping: See label for recommended plant-back intervals for rotational crops.
Environmental Precautions: Toxic to aquatic organisms. Do not apply this product directly to freshwater habitats, estuaries or marine habitats. Toxic to bees. This product is systemic, and bees can be exposed to product residues in flower, leaves, pollen and/or nectar resulting from seed treatment applications. If treated seeds are spilled outdoors or in areas accessible to birds, promptly clean up or bury to prevent ingestion.

Application InformationMETLOCK CT does not contain a colourant; any seed treated with METLOCK CT must be conspicuously coloured (Red). METLOCK CT is a concentrated formulation and should be mixed with water at a ratio of 5 parts water to 1 part METLOCK CT to ensure sufficient seed coverage. More water can be used if necessary. All labelled crops are registered for commercial application facilities and mobile treaters. Cereal grains, (excluding corn), are registered for on-farm use.
How it WorksMETLOCK CT is a systemic product used to control or suppress listed seed-borne and soil-borne diseases of cereal grains. The fungicide active ingredients in METLOCK CT are metconazole, a broad-spectrum, systemic triazole fungicide and metalaxyl, an oomycete-active, systemic acylalanine fungicide. Metalaxyl interrupts fungal nucleic acid synthesis and metconazole inhibits sterol biosynthesis.
RestrictionsAll labelled crops are registered for commercial application facilities and mobile treaters. Cereal grains, (excluding corn), are registered for on-farm use. Do not use treated seed for food, feed or oil processing.Grazing/Pre-harvest Intervals: Do not graze or harvest for forage/feed for 4 weeks after planting. Re-cropping: Barley, corn, canola, oats, rye, wheat, soybeans and sugarbeet may be replanted at any time. A 35-day plant back interval for all other crops applies.
Environmental PrecautionsToxic to aquatic organisms and non-target terrestrial plants. Do not use in areas where soils are permeable and where the water table is shallow.

Application InformationVibrance Maxx is a ready-to-apply seed treatment for use in commercial seed treatment plants and for on-farm treatment. The equipment must provide uniform coverage on the seed. Allow the seed to dry before bagging, storing or seeding.
Seed Treatment and InoculantsVibrance Maxx can be used with some Rhizobium-based inoculants. Contact inoculant manufacturer for proper recommendations. Treated seed may not flow at the same rates through seeding equipment as untreated seed. With rough coated seed, the addition of water will increase coverage; contact Syngenta for more information.
How it WorksVibrance Maxx contains three active ingredients. Fludioxonil is a phenylpyrrole fungicide with contact activity. Metalaxyl M is an acylalanine fungicide with systemic activity against certain fungal diseases. Sedaxane is an SDHI fungicide with systemic properties.
RestrictionsGrazing: Do not graze or feed livestock on treated areas for 60 days after planting. Re-cropping: Do not plant any crop other than soybeans, beans, chickpeas, lentils, lupins, faba beans and peas within 60 days to fields in which treated seeds were planted.
Environmental PrecautionsVibrance Maxx is toxic to aquatic organisms. Any spilled or exposed seeds must be incorporated into the soil or cleaned up from the soil surface.
ToxicityApron Maxx RTA: Oral LD50 (rats) = 5,050 mg/kg. Dermal: LD50 (rabbits) 2,020 mg/kg. Vibrance 500FS: Oral LD50 (rats) = 2,975 mg/kg. Dermal: LD50 (rabbits) > 5,050 mg/kg.

Registered Tank Mixes For protection from various insects on registered crops, Vibrance Quattro may be mixed with Cruiser 5FS Seed Treatment. This tank mix option is only valid for those crops common to the registered labels of Vibrance Quattro and Cruiser 5FS Seed Treatment Insecticide.
Application InformationVibrance Quattro is for use on-farm and can also be applied by commercial seed treaters (facilities and mobile treaters) using closed system transfer. Apply Vibrance Quattro utilizing seed treatment equipment that provides uniform seed coverage. Depending on seed size, Vibrance Quattro may be applied as a ready-to-apply application or water may be added to form slurry for more uniform coverage. Allow the seed to dry before bagging or storing into bulk containers. Depending on planting equipment, seed treated with Vibrance Quattro may not flow through planting equipment at the same rate as untreated seed. Recalibrate this equipment before planting treated seed.
How it Works Vibrance Quattro is a combination of the fungicides difenoconazole, metalaxyl-M and S-isomer, sedaxane and fludioxonil, which control or suppress certain seed- and/or soil-borne diseases of cereal crops as listed.

Chemical Control of Plant Diseases in Alberta
Introduction
Plants, like other living organisms, are attacked by many diseases that are caused by fungi, bacteria, viruses, mycoplasmas and nematodes. The management of plant diseases is based on four general parameters:
• Exclusion (quarantine): a disease organism or diseased plant material is prevented from entering a country or disease-free area where the disease could become established.
• Protection: includes management practices that can be used to protect plants from disease organisms. Examples include proper sanitation, chemical controls, adequate soil nutrient levels and good soil drainage.
• Eradication: involves the use of crop rotations or the application of chemicals such as fungicides to control plant disease.
• Plant breeding: results in the development of crop plants that have partial or complete resistance to a specific disease or range of infectious diseases.
Chemical control of diseaseIn Alberta, fungal diseases of some field crops may be subject to direct chemical control by fungicides. At present, foliar fungicides are registered for a number of significant foliar diseases including the following: Sclerotinia white mould, alternaria black spot and blackleg control in canola, cereal leaf diseases, foliar diseases of potatoes and pulse crops.

Potato Late blight(Phytophthora infestans)
0.16 L Begin applications when the plants are 15 to 20 cm tall or when conditions favour disease development. Repeat application at intervals of 7 to 10 days. Do not apply more than the maximum seasonal use rate of 1.6 L per acre during each growing season. Do not make more than 3 sequential applications per season before alternating to a fungicide with a different mode of action.
Potato White mold(Sclerotiniasclerotiorum)
0.16 - 0.24 L Begin applications at full bloom. Repeat applications at 7 - 10 day intervals.When white mould pressure is low to moderate, use 160 ml/acre. When conditions favour moderate to high white mould pressure, increase the rate to 240 ml/acre. Do not make more than three sequential applications.
Soybean White mold(Sclerotiniasclerotiorum)
0.35 - 0.47 L Begin application at the R1 (early bloom) to R2 (full bloom) stage. If necessary apply again 10 - 14 days later at early pod formation (R3). When disease pressure is low use 0.36 L per acre rate. For conditions favouring moderate or high disease pressure use 0.47 L/acre. Do not apply after the R3 stage. Do not exceed 2 applications per year.

Registered Tank MixesNone registered.
Application Information How to Apply: Ground and aerial application. Do not apply to soybean by air. Water Volume: Ground: 80 - 240 L/acre. Aerial: 20 L/acre minimum.
Application TipsOptimum disease control is achieved when timing of application is based on environmental factors that favour disease development. For potatoes, do not exceed 10 applications each growing season. For edible beans and soybeans, do not exceed 2 applications each growing season.
How It WorksFluazinam is a pyridinamine fungicide with protective (contact) activity.
Restrictions:Pre-harvest Intervals: Dry shelled beans - 30 days, potatoes - 14 days, soybeans - do not apply after the R3 stage. Re-cropping: Areas treated with Allegro 500 F may be replanted with potatoes and dry shelled beans as soon as practical after the last application. Other root crops and leafy vegetables can be planted 30 days after the last application. All other crops can be planted 70 days after the last application. Re-entry: Do not enter treated areas during the restricted re-entry interval of 24 hours.

260 - 390 mL Begin applications prior to disease development and continue throughout the season on a 7 - 14 day interval. Do not make more than 2 consecutive applications before switching to a fungicide with a different mode of action. If disease pressure is high, use the highest rate and shortest interval.
Registered Tank MixesConsult manufacturer for supported tank mixes.
Application InformationHow to Apply: Ground and aerial application. Water Volume: Ground: 60 L/acre minimum is recommended for most crops. Aerial applications: 18 L per acre is recommended.
Application TipsFor best results, sufficient water volume must be used to provide thorough coverage.
How it WorksAprovia Top fungicide combines difenocazole with solatenol, a new, longer lasting SDHI. Solatenol metabolizes slowly in the plant for long residual protection against target diseases. Both actives have translaminar activity, providing protection inside the plants and on both sides of the leaf.
RestrictionsPotatoes: Do not make more than 2 applications by air (for a total of 0.78 L/acre/season) OR do not make more than 4 applications by ground (for a total of 1.6 L/acre/season). For potatoes, if applications are made by one method (ground or air) all consecutive applications must be made by the same method. It is not acceptable to mix aerial and ground applications in the same calendar year. Rainfall: Avoid application when heavy rain is forecast. Pre-harvest Interval: Potatoes: 14-days. Re-cropping: Registered crops: 0 days. Do not apply to cereals and corn for 60 days after application. Do not apply to any other crops intended for food or feed for 180 days after application.

MaintenanceAll crops (annual maintenance treatment after initial application)
0.2 - 0.8 kg After initial application of Contans, it is recommended to apply a maintenance treatment of 0.2 kg/ac to reduce inoculum levels in the field. Annual maintenance rate will depend on crop type and tillage practices.
Application InformationHow to Apply: Ground application only. Do not apply by air. Water Volume: 40 L/acre minimum.
Application TipsUse sufficient water volume to ensure thorough coverage of the soil surface and/or crop residues. After incorporation, treated soils should not be disturbed (e.g. plowed) to avoid bringing untreated sclerotia from lower soil depths to the top soil layer. As part of an overall long term pest management strategy, it is recommended to use other management practices in addition to Contans such as in-crop foliar applications and following proper crop rotations.Do not tank mix with fungicides or fertilizers. Do not tank mix with acids, alkalis or any product that attacks organic materials. Contact UAP Canada for more information on products that are compatable with Contans.
How it Works When applied correctly, the active ingredient in Contans WG will destroy sclerotia in the soil before the sclerotia are able to produce fruiting bodies. Regular use of Contans in successive years within a long term management strategy will improve disease control.
RestrictionsPre-harvest Intervals: Contans WG can be applied up to and including the day of harvest.

How it WorksThe active ingredient cymoxanil in Curzate 60 DF is a highly active, locally systemic fungicide recommended for the control of late blight on potatoes. It works as a preventative, curative and inhibitive (against sporulation) product. Curzate offers a unique feature for late blight management called “kick-back” activity. It controls infections that have already attacked the crop but are not yet visible.
RestrictionsRainfall: Curzate is rainfast within 2 hours after application. Pre-harvest Intervals: Do not harvest within 8 days of treatment. Re-entry: Do not re-enter treated area within 24 hours.
Environmental PrecautionsOverspray or drift to sensitive habitats must be avoided. For tank mixes, consult the labels of the tank mix partners and observe the largest (most) restrictive buffer zone. Do not contaminate sensitive habitats when cleaning and rinsing spray equipment and containers. Do not mix, load or apply within 15 metres of all wells. Runoff: Do not apply product during periods of intense rainfall or to soils saturated with water. Do not apply directly to standing or running water. Do not apply in areas where surface water from treatment site can run off to adjacent cropland, either planted or to be planted, or into streams, irrigation waters or wells. Do not contaminate any body of water, including irrigation water.
ToxicityOral LD50 (rats) = 433 mg/kg. Dermal LD50 (rats) = > 2,000 mg/kg.

Application InformationHow to Apply: Ground sprayers, aerial application or by pivot or sprinkle irrigation. Do not apply registered tank mixes listed above in potato, chickpea and canola with pivot or sprinkler irrigation. Water Volume: Ground: 40 L/acre minimum except for potatoes and sugar beet where 80 L/acre minimum is recommended. Aerial: 20 L/acre minimum. Do not apply more than 0.16 L/acre of Headline EC by aerial application. Chemigation: application must be made without the use of end guns.
Application TipsGood coverage is essential for effective disease control and higher water volumes tend to increase performance with dense canopies. Headline EC works best if it is applied in a preventative manner and performs best if applied in a regularly scheduled protective spray program. Do not apply more than 1 application of this product before alternating to a fungicide with an alternative mode of action.
How it WorksHeadline EC has a protective effect because it inhibits spore germination and a curative effect due to the inhibition of mycelial growth and sporulation of the fungus on the leaf surface. Headline is systemic within the leaf. Headline applied to the top surface of the leaf binds tightly in the waxy cuticle and also moves to the lower surface where it provides dual-sided protection against disease entry.
RestrictionsRainfall: Avoid application when heavy rain is forecast. Rainfast in 1 hour. Grazing: Do not graze treated corn crops within 6 days of application. Do not feed alfalfa hay or forage to livestock. All other crops listed can be grazed or fed to livestock. Pre-harvest Interval: Cereals - apply no later than the end of flowering. Corn - 7 days. Edible-podded legumes and succulent beans and peas - 7 days. Grasses (grown for seed) - 14 days. Potatoes - 3 days. Dry bean and field peas, fababeans, and lentils - 30 days. Soybeans, canola, canola quality Brassica juncea, mustard (oilseed and condiment), rapeseed - 21 days. Sugar beets - 7 days. Re-cropping: A plant-back restriction of 14 days is required for all crops not on the label.

Application InformationHow to Apply: Ground application only. Do not apply by air. Water Volume: Ground: 40 L/acre minimum.
How It WorksThe two modes of action provide protection against late blight in potatoes. Orondis Ultra combines mandipropamid, with oxathiapiprolin. Oxathiapiprolin penetrates the leaf surface and moves upward in the plant to effectively protect existing plant material plus new growth.
RestrictionsMaximum number of applications: Refer to each individual label. Rainfall: Avoid application when heavy rain is forecast. Pre-harvest Interval: Potato 14 days. Re-cropping: For all legume crops except succulent peas, a plant-back interval of 180 days is required for Orondis Ultra B. Do not plant any crop that is not registered for use with Orondis Ultra A for a period of 30 days after the last application.
Environmental PrecautionsOrondis Ultra B contains an active ingredient and aromatic petroleum distillates that are toxic to aquatic organisms. May be toxic to certain beneficial insects. Minimize spray drift to reduce harmful effects on beneficial insects. Oxathiapiprolin is persistent and may carry over. It is recommended that any products containing oxathiapiprolin not be used in areas treated with this product during the previous season.

Application InformationHow to Apply: Ground and aerial application. Water Volume: Ground: 40 L/acre minimum. Aerial: 20 L/acre minimum.
Application TipsGood coverage is essential for effective disease control. Priaxor works best if it is applied in a preventative manner prior to the development of disease. Do not apply more than 1 application of this product before alternating to a fungicide with an alternative mode of action.
How it WorksThe active ingredient fluxapyroxad is a carboximide (SDHI) fungicide with systemic activity. The active ingredient pyraclostrobin is a member of the strobilurin class of chemistry used as a broad spectrum fungicide.
RestrictionsRainfall: Avoid application when heavy rain is forecast. Rainfast in 1 hour. Grazing: all crops can be grazed or fed to livestock except grasses and alfalfa grown for seed, but observe minimum pre-harvest interval for each crop. Pre-harvest Intervals: Cereals: apply no later than end of flowering. Dry pea, lentil, chickpea, and dry bean: 30 days. Corn, soybean, canola, sunflower, flax: 21 days. Grasses grown for seed:14 days. Sweet corn, edible legumes, succulent pea and bean, sugar beet: 7 days. Re-cropping: All labeled crops and tuberous and corm vegetables, sugar beets, legume vegetables, pome fruits, stone fruits may be planted immediately following the last application. A plant-back interval of one year is required for all other crops.
Environmental PrecautionsObserve buffer zones specified on the label. The use of this chemical may result in contamination of groundwater, particularly in areas where soils are permeable (e.g. sandy soils) and/or depth of the water table is shallow. Toxic to aquatic organisms, small mammals and non-target terrestrial plants.

Barley Fusarium head blight (suppression) (Fusarium spp.)
128 - 170 mL Apply when 70 - 100% of the barley main stem heads are fully emerged to 3 days after full head emergence. Application of the 170 mL/acre rate is suggested in situations where disease pressure is expected to be high. This may occur when prolonged periods of warm wet weather are forecast during barley head emergence, when barley and wheat is grown in a crop rotation that has contained corn or when susceptible cultivars are grown. Use of higher rate (170 mL/acre) will typically provide highest levels of mycotoxin reduction.
Net blotch (Pyrenophora teres), scald (Rhynchosporium secalis), spot blotch (Cochliobolus sativus)
85 - 128 mL Apply as a preventive foliar spray when the earliest disease symptoms appear on the leaves and stems. Barley fields should be observed closely for early disease symptoms, particularly when susceptible varieties are planted and/or under prolonged conditions favorable for disease development. Maximum of 2 applications per season; minimal spray interval of 7 days.
Wheat (spring, durum, winter)
Fusarium head blight (suppression) (Fusarium spp.)
128 - 170 mL Fusarium head blight or control of glume blotch: apply within the time period from when at least 75% of the wheat heads on the main stem are fully emerged to when 50% of the heads on the main stem are in flower. Use of higher rate (170 mL/acre) will typically provide highest levels of mycotoxin reduction.Glume blotch

Sclerotinia stem rot (Sclerotinia sclerotiorum)
128 - 149 mL Apply when the canola crop is in the 20 - 50% bloom stage. Best protection will be achieved when the fungicide is applied prior to petals beginning to fall and will allow for the maximum number of petals to be protected.The 149 mL/acre rate is recommended for fields with a history of heavy disease pressure or for dense crop stands.A second application at 128 mL/acre may be applied 7 - 10 days after the first application - up to full bloom stage of canola, if disease persists or weather conditions are favourable for development of disease. When conditions favouring disease are severe, use the shorter spray interval.Good spray coverage of the plants is essential.

Seed borne late blight (Phytophthora infestans)Suppression of pink rot (Phytophthora erythroseptica)
13 - 26 mL/100 kg seed For seed applications, this product must be applied using a closed treatment system. Uneven or incomplete seed coverage may not give the desired level of disease control.
Registered Tank mixesRevus at 0.16 - 0.24 L/acre can be tank mixed with Bravo 500 at 0.19 - 0.4 L/acre.
Application InformationHow to Apply: Ground and aerial application for foliar late blight.

Grazing: If one application per season is applied do not allow livestock to graze within the treated area within 30 days. If two applications per season are applied, do not allow livestock to graze within the treated area and do not harvest the treated crop for forage or hay. Pre-harvest Intervals: Soybean: 20 days. Re-cropping: Treated areas may be replanted immediately following harvest with any crop listed on the label. For crops not listed on the label, do not plant back within 30 days of last application.
Environmental PrecautionsStratego 250 EC is toxic to fish and other aquatic organisms. Do not contaminate water by cleaning of equipment or disposal of wastes. Observe the buffer zones specified on the label. Runoff: Do not apply to areas where runoff is likely to occur. Leaching: Residues of this product demonstrate the properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in groundwater. The use of this product in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the depth to the water table is shallow, may result in groundwater contamination.

227 - 340 g A minimum 12 day application window must pass between the 1st and 2nd application of Tanos 50 DF fungicide. A minimum 24 day application interval must pass between the 2nd and 3rd application of Tanos 50 DF Fungicide. Fungicides other than Tanos 50 DF may be used as necessary to protect the crop during these intervals. Do not apply Tanos 50 DF Fungicide to more than 247 ac/day. Apply no more than 3 applications per year.
Registered Tank MixesNone registered.
Application InformationHow to Apply: Ground and aerial application. May be applied with ground sprayers or air-assisted sprayers. Do not apply by air. Water Volume: Use 100 - 120 L/acre water volume with conventional sprayers. Use a minimum of 44 L/acre water volume with air assisted sprayers. Aerial: 20 L /acre minimum.
Application TipsTanos 50 DF must not be applied to any crop suffering from stress as a result of drought, waterlogging, low temperatures, insect attacks, nutrient or lime deficiency or other factors reducing crop growth.
How it WorksTanos 50 DF is both a protectant and locally systemic fungicide containing two different modes of action.
RestrictionsRainfall: Tanos 50 DF fungicide rapidly penetrates into plant tissues and is rainfast within 12 hours after application. Re-cropping: Crops that are on the Tanos 50 DF label may be planted back at any time; cereal grains may be planted back following a minimum plant-back interval of 30 days, and all other crops may be planted back following a minimum plant-back interval of one year. Re-entry: Do not re-enter treated areas within 24 hours of application. Pre-harvest Intervals: 14 days.
Environmental PrecautionsTanos 50 DF is toxic to fish and other aquatic organisms. This product is toxic to birds and wild mammals and is harmful to beneficial arthropods, such as predators and parasitoids. Toxic to aquatic organisms and non-targeted terrestrial plants. Observe buffer zones specified on the product label. Runoff: Do not apply to areas that are vulnerable to runoff. If rainfall is imminent, delay spraying.
ToxicityFamoxadone: Oral LD50 (rats) = > 5,000 mg/kg. Dermal LD50 (rabbit) = > 2,000 mg/kg. Cymoxanilis: Oral LD50 (rats) = > 960 mg/kg. Dermal LD50 (rabbit) = > 2,000 mg/kg.

Crops Diseases Rate per acre Timing and specific commentsPotatoes Late blight
(Phytophthora infestans)
1.09 L Begin applications when conditions are favourable for disease, but before infection, and continue on 7 - 14 day intervals until the threat of disease is over. Use the 7-day interval when the risk and conditions for disease are high. Do not apply more than 3 applications per season. Pre-harvest Interval: 7 days.
Registered Tank MixesNone registered.
Application InformationHow to Apply: Ground application only. Do not apply by air. Water Volume: Ground: 80 - 120 L/acre.Caution: Do not allow spray mixture to remain in tank overnight or for long periods during the day without agitation.
Application TipsThorough spray coverage of all plant material (particularly lower stems) is required. If multiple fungicide applications are required, rotation with other fungicide products is recommended. Where possible, Tattoo C should be applied in alternation with a fungicide having a different mode of action. Treatments with any product containing chlorothalonil must be separated by a minimum of 7 days.
How it WorksTattoo C is a fungicide that combines the systemic action of propamocarb hydrochloride with the contact activity of chlorothalonil to give protection against late blight of potatoes. Propamocarb hydrochloride only moves upward in the potato plant, so it is essential to ensure coverage of the lower portions of the plant.
RestrictionsGrazing: Do not feed treated crops to livestock. Re-cropping: Do not plant a new crop in the treated area within 120 days of the last application. Re-entry: Do not re-enter treated areas within 48 hours after treatment.
Environmental PrecautionsThis product is toxic to fish, aquatic invertebrates and marine/estuarine organisms. Do not apply directly to water and to areas where surface water is present. Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwaters. A buffer zone of 15 metres should be observed around bodies of water in order to protect aquatic organisms from drift. Runoff: Do not apply where runoff is likely to occur.
ToxicityOral LD50 (rats) = > 2,000 mg/kg. Dermal LD50 (rabbit) = > 4,000 mg/kg.
StorageCannot be stored below freezing. Keep away from fire or open flame or other sources of heat. If stored for 1 year or longer, shake well before using.
